“Nature” is what we see—
The Hill—the Afternoon—

Nay—Nature is Heaven—
Nature is what we hear—
The Bobolink—the Sea—
Thunder—the Cricket—
Nay—Nature is Harmony—
Nature is what we know—
Yet have no art to say—
So impotent Our Wisdom is
To her Simplicity.

There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!]]> 2017-04-05 23:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kyle_1930197/w28nx8gn2gm5/wish/165017997 Literary Terms kade_47436 https://padlet.com/kyle_1930197/w28nx8gn2gm5/wish/165018621 1. Simile-A comparison of two things that are basically unlike with the use of 'like' or 'as'. This is seen in "A Book" in the first line, "There is no frigate like a book" (Dickinson, line 1) Dickinson is comparing a book to a frigate, which is a large ship, saying books take you to distant lands as a ship does.
2.  Personification-When an inanimate object is given human characteristics. This is shown in the fourth line of "A Book", " Of prancing poetry." (Dickinson, line 4) Prancing is a human characteristic given to poetry. 
3.Connotation-An association a word calls to mind. Connotations are found in line four," Of prancing poetry," (Dickinson, line 4). A cheerful connotation is found in the word 'prancing'.
4. Rhyme- Words rhyme when the sounds of their accented vowels and all succeeding sounds are identical. This is seen in "Nature is what we see" in the first four lines "Nature is what we see/ The hill-the Afternoon/Squirrel-Eclipse-the Bumble Bee" (Dickinson, line 1-4) Dickinson uses Rhyme to make the reader think about the poem and understand it while they realize its  rhyming.
5. Aphorism- a general truth or observation about life, usually stated concisely and pointedly. This is seen in "Nature is what we see", this found in line 1, "Nature is what we see" (dickinson, line 1) Dickinson here makes an obvious statement because nature s everywhere we look and has a huge impact on our everyday life. 
6. Free verse- poetry which is not written in a traditional meter but is still rhythmical. This is seen in the whole poem for example " Nay-Nature is Heaven-Nature is what we hear" (dickinson, Line 5&6) She clearly liked this style because she uses hyphens to pause or end a sentence. ]]> 2017-04-05 23:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kyle_1930197/w28nx8gn2gm5/wish/165018621 Analysis of "A Book" kade_47436 https://padlet.com/kyle_1930197/w28nx8gn2gm5/wish/165020645 The theme of "A Book" is that reading is fun and takes you on adventures like no other. For example, in lines one and two it says, "There is no frigate like a book- To take us lands away," (Dickinson lines 1,2) In these lines Dickinson implies that reading a book will take you to 'lands away'. The structure of the poem is very unclear as there are no certain rhyme schemes in use. There is a very clear meaning to this poem. The meaning is simply to entice readers to read or keep reading! This quote from the poem says," Nor any coursers like a page-Of prancing poetry." (Dickinson, lines 3+4) Words like courser, and prancing have a cheerful connotation, which shows how Dickinson intends to portray books and poetry. Some historical context comes from Poets.org," Throughout her life, she seldom left her home and visitors were few." (Poets.org) Since she didn't have much connection with the outside world, it is easy to see how she formed a connection to reading and writing.]]> 2017-04-06 00:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kyle_1930197/w28nx8gn2gm5/wish/165020645 Bibliography kade_47436 https://padlet.com/kyle_1930197/w28nx8gn2gm5/wish/165027924 1.Dickinson, Emily.

In the poem it is mainly describing what you would see if you went and looked at nature. The structure of the poem is a-b-a-c due to the fact that there are many examples of a rhyme scheme in this poem. The poem is written in free verse form, for example "The Bobolink-the Sea-Thunder-the Cricket" (dickinson, line 7&8) The quote suggests that there is no traditional style in the poem due to the hyphen to provide a comma, or an end of a sentence. The meaning of the poem is that we are surrounded by nature everywhere, be it any as big as the hill or as small as the squirrel. But even supposing of humans being around nature every minute of everyday. "Nature is what we know- Yet have no art to say- So impotent Our Wisdom is To her Simplicity." (dickinson, lines 10-14) This quote is saying that the only perfect thing in our world is nature and nature is nothing but art. The historical context in "Nature is what we see", for example in WW1 and WW2 nature had a huge impact due to the fact that it could affect the conditions in which the troops fought in. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kyle_1930197/w28nx8gn2gm5/wish/165031291
