Then—shuts the Door—
To her divine Majority—
Present no more—

Unmoved—she notes the Chariots—pausing—
At her low Gate—
Unmoved—an Emperor be kneeling
Upon her Mat—

I've known her—from an ample nation—
Choose One—
Then—close the Valves of her attention—
Like Stone—]]> 2017-03-24 20:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162519587 In "The Soul selects her own Society," how does the soul shut out those she does not choose? rqnguyen100 https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162520005 The soul shuts them out by ignoring them, it disregards them no matter who they are. It wants to create it's own path rather than following one already made.]]> 2017-03-24 20:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162520005 In "The Soul selects her own Society," what emotional effect does the word stone evoke? How is this effect further emphasized by the placement of stone in the poem? rqnguyen100 https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162521041 The word, stone, evokes an emotionless effect because when they think of stone, it is still forever in the same position. The placement of stone as the last word, creates the emotionless ending and leaves that feeling with you.

How do they contribute to the tone and meaning of the poem? rqnguyen100 https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162522237 The concrete use of simile for the last two lines of the poem: "Then—close the Valves of her attention—
Like Stone—." signify how after picking her suitor she must shut everyone else out. She must be as cold as stone to other men or else be shut out by society.]]> 2017-03-24 20:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162522237 Picture rqnguyen100 https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162949648

Elaborate on your idea. rqnguyen100 https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162950127 The theme of "The Soul selects her own society" is to be loyal to a few people and to shut everyone else away.  In the poem the soul accepts some people but closes the door to everyone, no matter who they are and what status they have. ]]> 2017-03-27 20:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rqnguyen100/8xn46po0cetx/wish/162950127
