Emily Dickinson     The feeling of Emily Dickinson depends to be one of simplicity. subsequently all, she only lived in two houses her entire life. Even though her life might have seemed plain, her mind was fully understanding to a gang of ideas and feelings. In her poetry you can see her dealing with many concepts and how she feels to the highest degree certain things in her life. A couple themes I found oddly interesting were ending and nature.     Death can be a confused issue for many people. However, for Dickinson it seemed to consume her, and therefore is evident several propagation within her poetry. A clear example of this is in her poem 280 when she writes, I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,/ And Mourners to and fro/ Kept treading-treading-till it seemed/ That Sense was breaking through- (Dickinson 176). The unharmed poem goes on referring to what I believe her to be talking most, is her cause funeral. Reading only that poem a lone would make Dickinson seem to be depressed, but I think it is more that she is scared senseless about(predicate) her death. In the end of the poem she writes, And the a Plank in Reason, broke,/ And I dropped down, and down-/ And hit a World, at every plunge,/ And finished knowing-then- (Dickinson 176). Dickinson seems to be hunted of what will happen after death, and that when the end comes she expects it to be a terrible ending to what could have been a great life.      Contrary to this however Dickinson may want to embrace death since it seems inevitable. In a critical show by Ralph Joly he writes, On one hand, she seems nearly to celebrate it as an anodyne to life, as in Because I could not stop for Death, where death appears in the guise of a suitor and the grave is a hearth in the ground (Emily Dickinson). Dickinson seems to think about death a lot, and because of this it would seem ignorant for her not to look at it in other ways besides negative . Death is a thought provoking subject, and for Dickinson it was one that was farthest from being overlooked. While Dickinson might have overly agonized about the issue of death, it is still a subject that we should address within ourselves, and to acquaint ourselves with our feelings on death.     Nature is a subject that deserves glorification, and Dickinson made sure of this in many of her poems.
