The soul shuts out those she does not choose by isolating herself from them. This can be demonstrated in the line, "Unmoved-an Emperor be kneeling Upon her Mat" (Dickinson 8-9). The soul has a preference of shutting herself away from others, possibly because she wants to be interpreted and seen as an individual version of herself. She emphasizes her detachment from everyone except "One" throughout the poem. Her isolation from everyone else can also be seen in the line, "Then-shuts the Door-" (Dickinson 2). In the poem, Dickinson simply describes her separation from others by shutting the door and closing herself off.

How is this effect further emphasized by the placement of stone in the poem? 
The emotional effect that the word "Stone" introduces is loneliness and avoidance, which the speaker predispositions to, since stone is lifeless and not stimulating to anything, which could represent the speaker's manner to certain things, avoiding them and self-isolating herself. The effect for using the word "Stone" in the poem, signifies how does the speaker compares herself with a simile how she is like a Stone, which has no aspect and no attention for particular things]]> 2017-03-24 15:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jcvuong101/r8t14u177zwn/wish/162449770 macamacho101 https://padlet.com/jcvuong101/r8t14u177zwn/wish/162449935 The tone of "The Soul selects her own Society" is a feeling of privacy with determination and full of confidence. Throughout the poem, she implies how she continues to isolate herself away from others. The only person she doesn't become distant from is referred to as the "One." The soul stays confident and prideful in her self. In addition, this tone can also be demonstrated in the line, "The Soul selects her own Society-Then-shuts the Door-to her divine Majority" (Dickinson 1-3). She continues to select only the one person she eyes on and doesn't give in to everyone else who tries to "win" her over. She stands and divides herself from basically everyone else, allowing others to perceive her as one who has an increasingly amount of self-worth and can not be won over easily.  ]]> 2017-03-24 15:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jcvuong101/r8t14u177zwn/wish/162449935 macamacho101 https://padlet.com/jcvuong101/r8t14u177zwn/wish/162450148 The theme of this poem expresses that everyone has their own predispositions and preferences over other concept, and has the right to reject and accept what they want in convenience, in order to provide cooperation. This is provided by the title of the poem, which is line 1, "The Soul selects her own majority", which describes how does the "soul", which is the inner conscious of a human, possesses the ability to choose what his their society composed of, expressed by the phrase of line 1 from Dickinson's poem,  "selects her own majority". Also the poem states how can someone reject and close off from the features that his or her does not agree/prefer, as asserted by the theme as well, in line 12-13, which says "Then-close the Valves of her attention-/Like Stone". These lines could show that the human could reject something with their "Valve", which could now represent the mind, into a state of non-stimulation, which is the stone.]]> 2017-03-24 15:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jcvuong101/r8t14u177zwn/wish/162450148
