Answer:
True.
Explanation:
When independent clauses are joined incorrectly (with improper punctuation or conjunction), we have what is called a run-on sentence. An independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence, which means it offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.
A sentence fragment is basically an incomplete sentence. That means it is a phrase that is missing a key element, such as a verb or a subject, or a phrase that is dependent on a main clause but has been detached from it through wrong punctuation.
The sentence "After falling to the warm, damp forest floor, plants decay and release nutrients" is complete, and the punctuation is used appropriately. It might look confusing at first since the main clause came after the subordinate one. If we invert the clauses, we'll see there is no problem with the sentence - note that a comma will disappear now that the main clause comes first:
Plants decay and release nutrients after falling to the warm, damp forest floor.

In her poem "This is my letter to the world," Emily Dickinson speaks to the world. She says that although she has addressed the world (maybe the Earth, or humanity), the world has never replied. However, she does not feel disheartened. She continues to communicate and only asks the world to be kind to her. The theme of the poem is one of loneliness, and at the same time, of belonging to home. It highlights Dickinson's sense of belonging to the world of her "sweet countrymen," but also how inconsequential this world finds her presence.
One of the poetic elements in the poem is the personification of Nature. Dickinson writes:
<em>"The simple news that Nature told, </em>
<em>With tender majesty."</em>
Nature cannot "tell" anything, but she is giving it human qualities in her poem. She says that nature told her news majestically. By saying that, she contrasts the world, never talking to her, and nature, communicating beautifully. Nature has treated her with kindness and generosity by addressing her, as opposed to the world, which has mostly ignored her. In this way, she establishes her relationship with nature as an ally and a driving force for her actions. Nature has also been her link to the world. By giving nature these human qualities, she establishes the role that nature has played in her belonging to the world, but also in her sense of isolation. In this way, it relates to the theme of belonging to a "home."
