 * Analysis of the stylistic features of the poem:**

Emily Dickinson's poem // This Is My Letter to the World // is based on transcendentalist ideas. Using a unique style in her poetry, she expresses an important theme, how people need to believe in themselves and their ideas, not always rely on other bright minds to speak up.

She begins by saying, "This is my letter to the World". Dickinson is confronting what she believes in to everyone. When she says, "The simple News that Nature told With tender Majesty" shows that Dickinson is turning towards nature for answers in life. This is a common aspect of Transcendentalism. News is capitalized in the line because Dickinson is referring to "god's news", meaning that Dickinson is listening to what god has to say to her from nature. Dickinson's style of capitalizing key words in the poem are important because they stand out and show that Dickinson want's those words to be acknowledged to the "World".

In the second stanza, Dickinson says, "Her Message is committed". The chunk, "Her Message" is capitalized because it goes back to the first stanza when Dickinson talked about Nature. Dickinson portrays Nature as a female because of the common phrase, "mother nature". Nature's message is Dickinson's way of saying that she wants nature to guide her through her life and problems. This stanza is saying that people will judge your ideas, but you have to continue to believe in yourself. She uses many pauses to emphasis key words, phrases, and ideas to further enhance the understanding of her thoughts. These frequent pauses create a melancholy tone to make the reader have sympathy towards Dickinson. Towards the end, Dickinson says, "Judge tenderly" which means, please don't judge me to hard. Dickinson was a very independent woman, probably afraid to go out to the world and express her ideas and emotions.

She uses her style of writing with capitals, frequent pauses, and a unique rhyme scheme to present her ideas in this transcendentalist poem.

__This Is a Tribute to My Companion__

This is a tribute to my Companion

That brings peace to Me-

When Reality brings a fight,

She brings Harmony

The World will not endure,

But She accepts my insanity

Even you-fellow-Comrades-

Ignore my agony

Her Honor is presented

Through a way we all agree-

The Gratitude given to Nature

Is deep inside Me
