Because I could not stop for death by Emily Dickinson

The poet Dickinson does not waste the time at all and quickly warms up this beautiful poem. She quickly says and makes the readers know that the whole poem will be all about death. The starting word of the poem “because” sounds a very clever idea to begin the poem with. As it quickly assumes that the speaker is actually giving some kind of explanation to any argument or may be to a question. This actually gives an alive and very active sort of a feeling to the poem.

They actually move along at a very relaxed speed and at this time the speaker actually feels at ease with this gentleman. As the move around the town the speaker gets delighted to see children playing in the park, and also get pretty excited watching the sun set.

But as soon as the sun sets and the speaker starts getting a little chilly, as the speaker is completely under dressed, as she is only wearing a very thin sort of a shawl for only a coat. This shows that she was completely unprepared for any impromptu sort of a date with the death when she got up and got dressed that only morning.
