    death is a subject of matter for Dickinson. This is profoundly shown throughout many of Dickinson’s poems but specifically in Emily Dickinson’s subtle observation and understanding of death that is shown in “I heard a fly buzz when I died.” Dickinson composed I heard a buzz fly when I died in 1862‚ a year of enormous fatalities during the American Civil War. Dickinson’s puritanical context juxtaposed with her fascination of nature and the rawness of life explains her conflict and tension that

    Emily Dickinson’s poem “ I heard a Fly buzz-when I died-” depicts the events that took place around the speaker’s death bed. The image of the “fly buzzing” shows the sound of death and how her death is fast approaching for her. Meanwhile‚ she describes the surrounding of her room by comparing the “stillness in the air” to the calmness between “Heaves of Storm”.

    of Emily Dickinson’s poems are about death. “Because I Could Not Stop For Love” is more about the cycle of life than death. “I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died” relates to the final moment before death. Emily Dickinson’s poems are both centered on death; “Because I Could Not Stop For Death” is based more around upbeat and happy scenes‚ as where “I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died” talks about the preparation before death.

    Reading Response 2: 38 Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call Police I think the article was written in order to highlight the level of ignorance that had crept into society especially towards violence‚ perhaps in wake of the recent increase of violent imagery on television. I feel it was intended to act as an eye-opener for the readers which shows them how such shameless acts of laziness can claim lives. The tone that Gansberg uses throughout the article is one that is slightly aggressive especially when describing
