Money is something we all take for granted in our lives. Some of us may wish we had more of it but we all recognize it when we s

ee it, whether in the form of coins, notes or cheques. It is difficult to imagine how people managed without money. In the earliest periods of human history, people used to exchange goods directly. They would exchange things they had plenty of for things that they were in need of. For example, they might offer food for tools. This method of exchange, which is known as “barter”, has many disadvantages. Certain goods may be difficult to carry, they may not last long, or may be impossible to divide into smaller units. It can also be difficult to know the worth of something compared with other goods.
According to historians, the first money, in the sense we understand it today, consisted of gold coins produced about 2,500 years ago. Gold, being a very precious metal, was a suitable material. The introduction of gold coins was acceptable to everyone and they were still being used at the beginning of this century, although they have now been replaced by paper money and coins made of ordinary metals.

Based on your reading of both versions of Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” how do the differences in punctuatio
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

In the first version of the poem, the dashes connect different sections, perhaps to reflect that the events or images described are taking place in quick succession. The dashes might also signify abrupt shifts of thought or the unpredictability of human life.

The version with the dashes seems to have an uneven rhythm, with pauses and breaks; the version with commas, semicolons, and periods lacks this effect, and it sounds flatter than the other version.

In the revised version, the poem ends with a period instead of a dash, again changing the interpretation of the poem: the dash suggests that something is to follow, while a period suggests closure or finality.

Dickinson also capitalizes seemingly minor words, such as Recess, Ring, and Gown. Perhaps she uses this form of capitalization to emphasize the words' symbolic significance or the images they create. When the capitals are removed, the symbolism in the poem seems weaker.
