The correct answer is The speaker in the former knows exactly what her goal is, while the speaker in the latter believes that she has already achieved it.

Explanation:

In the poem Because I could not stop for Death the goal of the speaker is totally clear.

What she wants is for death to lead her to eternity.

The problem is that she realizes that death was not really her faithful friend who would take her to eternity, but that it took her to what would now be her new home: her new grave, “A Swelling of the Ground." which leads the speaker to realize the coldness and cruelty that death has.

While in the poem "Some keep the Sabbath going to Church" we can see how the speaker is really happy with his goal, which is to spend his church day at home. She prefers to hear the birds sing rather than hear a sermon. She does not need to hear how she has to get to heaven, because for her she has already arrived. And she sees it in the nature that surrounds it, and in the tranquility of her home while doing the things she likes.

Let's remember that Emily Dickinson was one of the greatest poetesses in history, and was characterized by her peculiar way of writing since her subjects were extravagant: she always talked about death and immortality.

Naddika [18.5K]

The people of Sighet, like many Jewish people in Europe at the time, are naive and unable to believe the atrocities being committed by the Nazis.

When Moshe returns to Sighet and tells everyone about what he experienced, they are unable to believe him. Instead of believing him, the people of Sighet say he is crazy. If they were to believe him, they would have to admit the fact they were in danger as well. They do not believe until it is far too late to leave.
