Imagery of violence in Act II
Much
of the imagery in Act II is of violence, horror, and disruption in nature. Identify one such image that you think is
especially powerful. Quote the lines (with a citation),
label whether it is a metaphor, simile or
personification, then write a brief
account of the effect of the image, commenting on the atmosphere it creates or
what it reveals about a character.
Analyze in detail the language used!

Dickinson stanza analysis
Choose any stanza from the Emily Dickinson poems we have studied. Type the stanza at the beginning of your post, then analyze it thoroughly, focusing on diction, tone or atmosphere, imagery, symbols, themes, form, rhyme, rhythm, etc. Do not choose the same stanza as anyone else, and don't forget to sign your name! (max. 350 words; due November 12th - but don't leave it until the last minute!)
