Emily Dickinson's Poetry

Question 22 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

Overall, how do the images of the poem “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church” reinforce the meaning of the poem? Check the two boxes that best apply.

Answer
A
They suggest that clergy are wise and wonderful people.
B
They suggest that the glories of nature are just as spiritual as a church, if not more so.
C
They suggest that going to church may not be the best or only route to heaven.
D
They suggest that churches should replace choirs with birds and other animals.

Explanation

The speaker describes keeping the Sabbath outdoors, with a bird singing and the orchard serving as a church dome. These images present nature as deeply spiritual, supporting B. By contrasting this with people who go to church, the poem also suggests that formal church attendance is not the only path toward heaven, supporting C.
