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 16:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162469705 Reading Focus - Quick Check Question 1 mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162472039 In "The Soul selects her own Society" how does the soul shut out those she does not choose?

She shuts out the people that she does not choose by being unmoved by their attempts to seek her hand.
In stanza 2 it says "Unmoved - she notes the Chariots - pausing - At her low Gate - Unmoved - an Emperor be kneeling Upon her Mat - ." In this stanza it shows how she ignores those her come to her.]]> 2017-03-24 16:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162472039 Poem Analysis Question 6 mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162541042 The main theme of the poem is that once a person has selected a path, that person will not stray from that path. This is shown by the woman in the poem not choosing a suitor because she has already fallen in love with somebody else.]]> 2017-03-25 04:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162541042 Poem Analysis Question 8 mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162541079 Rhyme scheme and line arrangement don't contribute to the overall effect of the poem.  This is because the rhyme scheme is in no order which doesn't create a negative contribution but doesn't create a positive one either.]]> 2017-03-25 04:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162541079 Literary Focus - Literary Analysis Question 5 mtthiaw100 https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162543734 In "The Soul selects her own Society," do you think the phrase "Valves of her attention" is derived from organic things (valves of the heart) or mechanical ones (valves of a faucet)? Why?

The phrase "Valves of her attention" is probably derived from the valves of a heart. First of all, the poem talks about how the lady is unmoved by the people that come to her and how she has no feelings for them. This shows more of her feelings and can relate to the heart. Also, the poem talks a lot about how her soul selects her society and decides what will be set for her, and souls are more related to being in the heart and body. ]]> 2017-03-25 06:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mtahir101/EmilyDickinsonSoul/wish/162543734
