But remember this‚ no matter how bitter things get‚ they’re still our friends and this is still our home’” (87).

Emily Dickinson uses personification to similate how death is a gentleman that stopped to give someone a pleasant ride to their destination. The gentleman (Death) waits for her is the way the poet conveyed in the poem. As if death is a person waiting for her to join him. Another personification is when the writer compares death to someone having good manners‚ although this is not possible‚ they travel together at no certain speed with no time limit.

I read is the story about how the society was manipulated by the fear of the unknown or different. Therefore‚ in my opinion people in Salem were afraid of a devil and this fear shaped their society to judge and perceive normal women as witches and in consequences killed them.
