Answer: A. Both poems suggest a form of life after death that should not be feared.
Explanation:
In the poem<em> 'Song of myself'</em> , from Whitman's collection <em>Leaves of Grass</em>, Whitman describes death as a new beginning, a return to life. In the poem, he states that “…to die is different from what any one supposed, and / luckier.” He suggests that people should not be afraid of death.
In<em> 'Because I Could Not Stop for Death'</em>, Emily Dickinson presents death as a spiritual rebirth. She describes her journey from life to afterlife, accompanied by Death. Death is personified in this poem and is not intimidating at all. He is a very generous guide and makes her journey a rather pleasing experience.
Both the authors support the same idea - that death should not be feared, as it leads to nothing but a life after death.
