emily dickinson poems

What ability of the human mind is the speaker bragging about when she calls the brain "wider than the Sky"

• the brain is literally wider than the sky

• it is the starting of thinking

• you need your brain

• your mind comprehends all of human life

When the speaker theorizes that the human mind and God might only differ "As Syllable from Sound" (12), what could she mean?

• you mind reads all sounds that you can hear

• god is on your shoulder

• your ears hear everything

• your ears are you

what comparisons does the speaker make in "the brain-is wider than the sky"?

• the speaker compares the brain to the sky, to the sea, and to god

• brain is like a fish

• brain is like a Bob Ross picture

What role does a suprising use of scale and size play in these comparisons

• makes the sky seem only as big

• it succeeds in the immeasurability of the brain

• the brains alot smaller

what three things does the speaker compare to polar privacy

• privacy was compared to the solitude of space, sea and death

• Shawn complains to much

how does the solitude of a soul admitted to itself deffer from the types of solitude

• a soul admitted to itself feels a greater solitude than the solitude of space ,sea and death.

• death is bad

• you can die by a shark in the sea

• space has no oxygen

in water is tought by thirst what is the relationship between each line

• first word is understood by the ones that follow

• had to use a dictionary

what is the theme or message of the peom water is tought by thirst

• we gain real understanding through loss and need

• shawn is a big bad fella

• cats are good
