Question 20 • *KCPS English Language Arts 11 (2027)
Both poems present major subjects in a calm, conversational way. In “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church,” the speaker matter-of-factly describes worshipping at home in nature instead of attending church. In “Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” Death is treated as a courteous visitor who takes the speaker on a carriage ride. The poems do not make these subjects seem trivial; they approach them evenly and without great formality.
