Answer:
The title of the poem "If" begins many of the lines. This shows the importance of trying to follow the speaker's advice: if the son can do all of these things, says the speaker, he will be a man. Repeating "if" also helps the poet stress that nothing is certain in the world.
p.s i just took the test and its the sample response!
In both poems, the poetic element that stood out to me the most is the use of personification.
In "This Is My Letter To The World," nature is personified as being able to speak, "The simple news that Nature told"(3) Dickinson states that she cannot see what was told, but asks that the countrymen do not judge her regardless.
In "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" she applies personification to death, who appears to be the driver of a carriage, arriving to take the speaker into the afterlife.
"Because I could not stop for Death -
He kindly stopped for me -" (1-2)
Dickinson's speaker is describing her experience with death. In the opening stanza, she was too busy for death - but Death had enough time for her - and was civil enough to stop .
"We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –"
Death's "civility" caused her to drop everything that occupied her time before his visit, and she enjoyed the carriage ride instead.

Usher's madness begins to increase because he can hear the sound of Madeline below.
Even though his sister is buried in the basement, he can constantly hear her scratching her coffin. He was tortured by these sounds until the protagonist came to visit him so he could share his troubles with him. Usher is afraid of his 'undead' sister and of dying himself, which is why he grows crazier and crazier by the day, until he is finally killed by his own sister in the end.
