Emily_Dickinson

Emily Dickinson The authors of the two poems are Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. The name of Dickinson’s poem is “This quiet dust was gentlemen and ladies.” The name of Walt Whitman’s poem is “Song Number 6.” I believe that these two poems are different in a lot of ways, but they are alike in that they both speak of death. The poems have few similarities. Although both Dickinson and Whitman seem to be very interested in death and what happens after life. They seem to be intrigues in the uncertainties of death; for example, Whitman asks, “What do you think has become of the young and old/ men'” He wants to know exactly what happens after death. Dickinson also reminisces about how these people were once alive and she wonders what that did in life. She said, “And Lads and dickinson, whitman, death, poems, poem, seem, people, happens, emily, different, because, after, wonder, while, ways, walt, two, scheme, said, rhyme, once, name, life, lads, interested, gentlemen, dust, dickinson’s, both, alive, about, young, wrote, writing, wonders
