What do you think that truth is? eldiep100 https://padlet.com/eldiep100/xpwgj2mn7ic6/wish/445767801 After reading the poem I think the truth is indeed what Emily portrays. In our opinion, we think that the insane people are actually the sane people as they are the people who inflict change. ]]> 2020-02-14 19:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/eldiep100/xpwgj2mn7ic6/wish/445767801 Question 2: What is the theme of this poem? Can you state it in a single sentence? Elaborate on your idea. eldiep100 https://padlet.com/eldiep100/xpwgj2mn7ic6/wish/445771463 The theme of this poem is basically how it's sane to be different. The sane people are insane and the insane people are sane. Emily believes that it is this way as sane people don't really want change. The insane people are the ones that inflict change for the greater good.]]> 2020-02-14 19:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/eldiep100/xpwgj2mn7ic6/wish/445771463 Important quote jmrussell100 https://padlet.com/eldiep100/xpwgj2mn7ic6/wish/445772211 ¨Assent and you are sane¨
This has to do with the main idea of the poem because its saying that if you agree with being normal then you are like the rest of people. 
¨Demur You´re straightway dangerous¨ This connects with the main idea because you have to express that you are different and express that you are insane. The main idea is to be insane and not to be sane.]]> 2020-02-14 19:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/eldiep100/xpwgj2mn7ic6/wish/445772211 Question 1: What is the poem's tone? Which words reveal this tone? Is the poem ironic? eldiep100 https://padlet.com/eldiep100/xpwgj2mn7ic6/wish/445772288 The tone of this poem is anger as Emily Dickinson was probably sick and tired of how society was operating. She uses strong words like "straightway dangerous" and "the starkest madness" to show the tone. This poem is ironic as sane people in most cases should be seen as people who improve the world, not the insane people. ]]> 2020-02-14 19:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eldiep100/xpwgj2mn7ic6/wish/445772288
