    grief‚ sorrow and the loneliness left behind. Yet in Emily Dickinson’s poem “The last Night that She lived” it is almost devoid of emotion entirely. The opening stanza gives a preview of the poem‚ its devoid of emotion‚ we have no relation to who has died‚ and no name given to make a connection or sympathize.

We think 300 years is a long time when in Europe traditions can be traced back a couple thousand years and in India they can trace Hinduism and their way of life back 4‚000 years.

He begins to realize that we cannot relive or recreate our childhood‚ only visit the locations it took place. Throughout White’s essay‚ he begins to convey his confused and deniable emotional roller coaster
