How is Dickinson's poem fresh? Note its sounds and describe how they function in the making of the poem.
Emily Dickinson's poem is fresh because it is carrying an initiative tone. The first line is a command, after all. The sounds of the piece feel abrupt as they are pronounced. It sounds are used as a tool to enhance the straight-forward, bluntness of the poem. This contradicts, however, with the words, as the reader must later reflect on the deeper meaning of the text.
