** Response to poem: **
==== In this poem, This Is My Letter To The World by Emily Dickinson, Dickinson successfully used stylistic features that contributed to the tone. I feel that the poem has a very mournful and depressing tone. Dickinson's use of rhyme highlighted this quality of the poem. The rhyme in a way forces the reader to remember each line. It also gives the poem rhythm which made it flow and sound depressing so that the reader too can feel exactly what Dickinson was feeling when she wrote this poem. Her word choice was also a strong component of the quality of tone for this poem. Dickinson used words such as "majesty" to convey such a simple meaning yet, the word captures the readers eye. It makes the reader truly analyze the meaning and what Dickinson is trying to portray. With the use of rhyme and word choice, Dickinson was able to present a deep meaningful tone within her poem. ====
