Because I Could Not Stop for Death” By Emily Dickinson

Because I Could Not Stop for Death” reveals Emily Dickinson’s calm acceptance of death. It is surprising that she presents the experience as being no more frightening than receiving a gentleman caller—in this case, her fiancé (Death personified).  I think she is really brave. Many people would said they are able to accept death but when it is his or her time, they would struggle.  I, myself also feel the same before but when I grow older, the way of my thinking about death changed. People would die one day, it just the matter of time. soon or later. How we die? What is the feeling of dying? What is the feeling before holding the last breath? Where does we go after death?
      When we think of it, we would scare. Me, too, dying is frightening. Just imagine you are about to die, breathing starting to be slower and slower and hard to breath, everything we see will be blur and blur and imagine, this is the worst time and most frightening, I think. You are trying to breath harder and to live and yet, it is time to go and you can't do anything about it. When you are weak, you gone and dead. For me, the process is frightening. Until now, I still can't accept it. It is hard to believe everyone gone through the same process:death. It just the matter the way of dying........The journey to the grave begins in Stanza 1, when Death comes calling in a carriage in which Immortality is also a passenger. As the trip continues in Stanza 2, the carriage trundles along at an easy, unhurried pace, perhaps suggesting that death has arrived in the form of a disease or debility that takes its time to kill. Then, in Stanza 3, the author appears to review the stages of her life: childhood (the recess scene), maturity (the ripe, hence, “gazing” grain), and the descent into death (the setting sun)–as she passes to the other side. There, she experiences a chill because she is not warmly dressed. In fact, her garments are more appropriate for a wedding, representing a new beginning, than for a funeral, representing an end.  
.......Her description of the grave as her “house” indicates how comfortable she feels about death. There, after centuries pass, so pleasant is her new life that time seems to stand still, feeling “shorter than a Day.”  
.......The overall theme of the poem seems to be that death is not to be feared since it is a natural part of the endless cycle of nature. Her view of death may also reflect her personality and religious beliefs. On the one hand, as a spinster, she was somewhat reclusive and introspective, tending to dwell on loneliness and death. On the other hand, as a Christian and a Bible reader, she was optimistic about her ultimate fate and appeared to see death as a friend. 
         She is brave and treat death easily. However, I think how can you feel about the comfortable? The minute it happen. We are gone forever.The minute I die one day, I will be gone forever, Can't see, feel, and so on.the worst and most frightening is where shall I go? The minute I'm here doing assingnment or online networking, the next minute, where shall I be?
