Dickinson’s “This World is not Conclusion”
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page paper analyzing Emily Dickinson’s Poem 501. Dickinson makes her point in the first line of the poem, and provides the remainder of it in support of her opening statement. Her message is that despite the efforts of people to explain God, ignore God, “serve” God or define God, He operates in a manner that defies human logic and focuses on the individual. If the individual is able to avoid awareness of God, He is at work nonetheless, nibbling away at the soul, making His presence sensed, at least, if not fully known without first gaining commitment of belief.

Dickinson/I HAD been hungry all the years
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page explication of Emily Dickinson's poignant poem "I HAD been hungry all the years." In this poem, Dickinson offers images of what life's banquet is liked when viewed by someone who feels like an outsider. Dickinson was a recluse most of her life and seldom ventured from her home. Examination of this poem suggests that, at some point in her life, she had the opportunity to experience more than her solitary existence and that the "plenty" of this occurrence was both painful and revealing to her.

Dickinson/My had stood--a Loaded Gun
[ send me this essay ]

The imagery, and the energy, that pervades the poem indicates Dickinson's deeply seated conflicted feelings concerning traditional concepts of masculinity and femininity and the symbolism she employs expresses her inner rage at the restricted nature of gender that was prevalent in Victorian society.

Dickinson/Some Keep the Sabbath
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that explicates the poem "Some keep the Sabbath going to church," by Emily Dickinson. The writer argues that this poem provides a contrast between the conventional customs of faith and religion that were practiced in the nineteenth century and Dickinson's own reclusive, private form of worship, which stressed the natural world as the proper environment in which to appreciate the Divine. Examination of Dickinson's use of images, symbols, her narrative voice or "speaker," use of irony, setting, and tone demonstrate that this poem constitutes a radical position that deviates markedly from the accepted stance toward religion and worship that was generally accepted in nineteenth century America. No additional sources cited.
