    the careful word choice. Dickinson also uses words like “adjoining,” “brethren,” “kinsmen,” and first person plural pronouns to correlate the virtues of beauty, for which the two subjects have died for (4, 8, 9). Dickinson’s allusion to “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats creates an atmosphere of companionship, despite this relationship involving two dead bodies.

    I also disagreed with “The Storm” by Kate Chopin, because it suggested that it is possible to be with more than one person at any given point.

    There is a dominating narrative that all men are created equal and are guaranteed inalienable human rights; however, history suggests time and time again that those rights are easily infringed upon. Throughout history, there is a human universal of groups persecuted by their society and the people who are supposed to protect them. In the 19th century Romantic Era, a time where nature and beauty were valued, those who were lacking of beauty were ostracized for trying to participate in a society that
