Emily Dickinson's Poetry

Question 21 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

Overall, how do the images of the poem “I Could Not Stop for Death” reinforce the meaning of the poem? Check the two boxes that best apply.

Answer
A
They suggest that death is a journey.
B
They suggest that farm work is very important to society.
C
They suggest that death is not to be feared.
D
They suggest that carriages are a very reliable means of transportation.

Explanation

The poem presents Death as a courteous driver who takes the speaker on a carriage ride past scenes of life and toward the grave and eternity. This journey imagery suggests that death is a passage to another state, while the calm, unthreatening tone suggests it need not be feared. The images do not focus on the importance of farm work or on carriages as reliable transportation.
