Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Poetic Devices of Personification Discussion

 

I’m working on a architecture report and need support to help me learn.

The purpose of this discussion forum is for you to demonstrate that you can apply formal analysis and critical thinking to the analysis of Major Works: Thomas, “Do Not Go Gentle” and Dickinson, “Because I Could Not Stop for Death.” 

Instructions:

  • 1st paragraph – Compare and Contrast Thomas’ and Dickinson’s attitudes about death and dying? How does each feel about the ideas of death, dying and afterlife? 
  • 2nd paragraph – Take a position and defend it. Who is braver in the face of death, Dickinson or Thomas? Support your position using specific examples from the poems (you should quote or paraphrase specific lines). You should respond using complete sentences and proper college writing standards. Your answer should be at least one paragraph in length.
