Having spent all of twenty years in her house, the only way she saw the world was mostly through her room's window. When the window failed, light, life, and her meaning were gone signaling the end of her life.]]> 2020-02-14 19:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/eroukbinsucc/b22xqaqo606p/wish/445764680 eroukbinsucc https://padlet.com/eroukbinsucc/b22xqaqo606p/wish/445767181 The most important line is the very first line of the poem. "I heard a fly buzz-- when I died---". This line is an important line cause it coincides with the main idea. Instead of death coming in as an extravagant entity or "king" that everyone expects, it came in as a buzzing fly. Along with a dark tone, this enforces the main idea about the chilling mysterious moment before death.]]> 2020-02-14 19:29:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eroukbinsucc/b22xqaqo606p/wish/445767181 eroukbinsucc https://padlet.com/eroukbinsucc/b22xqaqo606p/wish/445771031 The tone of this poem is a very gloomy, chilling, and strange tone of death coming as a subtle fly. The fly represents an annoying creature that is everywhere, but sometimes is hard to tell it's there. Death is like this. It can come at any moment and is impossible to detect. The gloominess of the poem shows someone maybe who has more to offer, but death comes when it does, an eerie thought.]]> 2020-02-14 19:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/eroukbinsucc/b22xqaqo606p/wish/445771031 eroukbinsucc https://padlet.com/eroukbinsucc/b22xqaqo606p/wish/445773865 Other than the fly symbol, the sight/ eyes symbol is prevalent in the poem too. Sight is the symbol of life in this poem. As the speaker was dying, the eyes being to dry. And at the end, their sight is gone and they could no longer see. This isn't really a common universal symbol and is only based on this poem.]]> 2020-02-14 19:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eroukbinsucc/b22xqaqo606p/wish/445773865
