.... but still content because he was creating his own happiness. Soon into his pleasant fantasy, reality takes over. What has he accomplished or become? Why does he not have the same feelings he once had? Because “They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load” of his harsh life (14). His life of hard ships has erased all happiness in life. The line “From a twig’s having lashed across it open” (47) means something severely emotional has happened in the man’s life to cause him to harden. This event has led him to believe that his life is like a pathless wood. In other words his life has no means to an end, .....

.... schoolroom of the sky- (78)". After she dies and God answers all of her questions, Dickinson then says: " I shall forget the drop of anguish That scalds me now-that scalds me now!" This shows Dickinson's anger toward God. She does not want to have to die to have her questions answered. She wants to be able to live without these questions of what God wants, because they are deeply affecting her. As time goes by, one could say that Dickinson is learning to live with the questions she has for God. She does not look at death as a bad thing, she starts to look at it in a positive way. She slowly starts to seclude .....

.... "In the widows before us,/ as we changed her dressings," (32-33) "One morning, I pressed my lips / to her chest until, at last, / she believed / and opened up to me" (35-37). In those lines he is showing his love to and for her. By kissing her scar on her chest he showed her that he really cares for her and that he will always be there for her. Heyen uses "Matrix" for the title of this poem for its meaning of a mold, because there is a similarity between his wife's body and the turtle shell. He is showing the readers that no matter how the outer layer of a being changes, it shouldn't change your feelings about it or how you thi .....

.... the woman's body already rests beneath the soil in a casket. If this is at all accurate, then her spirit or soul may be the one who is looking at the "house." Spirits and souls usually mean there is an afterlife involved. It isn't until the sixth and final stanza where the audience obtains conclusive evidence that "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" believes in an afterlife. The woman recalls how it has been "...Centuries- and yet feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads were toward Eternity-" (913). To the woman, it has been a few hundred years since Death visited her, but to her, it has felt like less tha .....

.... the tale. Coleridge's main point in writing the story was to get people to understand forgiveness by understanding the poem. The Mariner in the poem is telling his tale to a "Wedding Guest" who has no choice but to listen and to believe. The "Wedding Guest" in the poem represents "everyman" in the sense that "everyone" is to be at the marriage of the Mariner to life. That is, the reader is to follow, live, and participate with the idea of the poem. Coleridge tells of a Mariner on a ship who makes a sin against God and therefore is cursed. This curse, the killing of an Albatross - one of God's creatures, costs the entire crew .....

.... Queens, the type who like to sit down and analyze the complete meaning of a book, ripping it apart page by page until they come into this complete feeling of self-actualization. Anyway, there are so many more types of reading styles out there, so many combinations. So the answer to the question as whether I am a Gryphon or a Queen, I would say neither but I'll go with the nearest. I am a Gryphon of sorts I presume. According to Haughton's definitions of readers I would have to say that my style of reading mostly resembles that of the Gryphon. To start off with I really do not like the whole idea of reading to begin wi .....

.... frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man ( The Black Cat 80) This citation I just went over shows how he loves his animals, but it also shows how he is foreshadowing. How he love the animals as pals, but how he also loves to abuse the animals. He loves to inflict pain on the animals because that is the way he shows his love. By seeing others in pain, he feels guilty, but he likes feeling that way. Because he is a masochist. He also shows how he feels guilty for this observed behavior is he goes out and gets drunk for feeling this way. And he comes home and inflicts the pain on the thin .....

.... into the train of thought. To the people in this poem going to church is like grocery shopping. It is something that must be done. Everyone knows it is the right thing to do, except in this case many people do not understand the concept behind it. Religion does not make a difference. If their parents shop at the Piggly Wiggly then they may also. If their parents are Luthern then they are also. People withdrew the meaning of religion over time. Almost like in Orwell’s 1984, how people just did things because it was expected of them. The people do not think about why they are going. They do not necessarily believe in the .....

.... favorite is the shattering of the dome in heaven. I think this creates a vivid image for the reader. He goes on to say that once the branches are bent, they never return completely upright again, but they are so flexible that they never break. “You may see their trunks arching in the woods/ Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground." These are some of the natural phenomenon’s that Frost mentions to explain the appearance of Birch trees. Frost then goes on to offer a more fantasy-like interpretation that he knows is not the real reason for their appearance, but it is imaginative and creative. He imagines little boy .....

.... denotes a person waiting for treatment. It seems this treatment will be Prufrock's examination of himself and his life. Prufrock repeats his invitation and asks the reader to follow him through a cold and lonely setting that seems to be the Prufrock's domain. The imagery of the journey through the city is described as pointed to lead the reader (and more accurately Prufrock) to an overwhelming question. Prufrock's description of the urban city is quite dreary: " Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,/ The muttering retreats/ Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels/ And sawdust restaurants with oyster shells;/ .....
