Words and phrases in the poem such as "no haste," "Fields of Gazing Grain," "Setting Sun," "Immortality," and "Eternity," all share a calmful tone and that death isn't as bad as you'd think. The poem is ironic from the speaker's view of death as something that is rather kind than fearsome.]]> 2022-02-17 03:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2052308408 rkthai100 https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2052328162 Heavily connotative used are "Children" as it describes how lively they came rushing out for recess and "Fields of Gazing Grain," which connects nature to death. Words that have unusual meanings in the poem are "kindly" as it describes death as something kind, which is the opposite. In stanza 2, it is unusual that "Civility" is a part of death as described. In Stanza 3, "We passed" is repeated 3 times to portray the unity between the speaker and Death. Words I had to look up are "Gossamer," "Tippet," and "Tulle."]]> 2022-02-17 03:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2052328162 rkthai100 https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2052350809 The biggest image is located in the third stanza when the children are in school during recess, the fields of grains, and the setting sun which they passed by. These images relate to one another by portraying the peace of death and that everything will eventually meet death and come to an end. Throughout the poem, these images display that death passed right by all three of the scenes.]]> 2022-02-17 03:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2052350809 rkthai100 https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2052387829 One symbol in the poem is the carriage as it symbolizes the life ride of the speaker, and since the poem's tone is in a steady pace of calmness, we can imagine that we live along with death and death is always here with us. Another symbol worth mentioning from the poem is children. The carriage passes slowly as the children strive for recess, depicting childhood as the beginning stage of life. Another symbol used in the poem is the field of grains which depicts the life of a person when they start to be aged and fully mature. This is a universal symbol because the grains on the field are ripe for harvesting, overall connecting to life of the speaker as old for death. Another symbol that Dickinson uses is the sun as the cycle of life and death. The sun arises, becomes alive, when morning comes and sets, dies, as days end. This is also a universal symbol. In the poem, the sun is setting and the speaker is passing by, which we can imagine that the speaker is coming towards the concluding stage of life]]> 2022-02-17 04:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2052387829 tmtran118 https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2053537037 2022-02-17 16:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2053537037 tmtran118 https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2053543327 2022-02-17 16:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tmtran118/jfxn22vu3amm0awp/wish/2053543327
