5、 fly buzzing. The poet thought that death was inevitable, painless and natural and asserted that death meant eternity because people would get another living after they have passed it .In this poem, the poet wrote about death in a calm tone with concise narrative. She suggested that people should un

6、derstand death, which was a must-be-crossed bridge, leading us to eternal life. Thus, people should leave the world peacefully, painlessly and thoroughly without sorrow when they die. the author mainly talks about the mental distraction caused by irrelevant details at the most critical momentthe mom

Spirituality is another theme thats lurking around the edges. I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died deals with death and what comes after, and t

8、he speaker herself is dead. Because of that, we pretty much need some spiritual framework to deal with whats going on here. Dickinson doesnt come out and say what happens after death, but with all this talk about the King, and the final Onset, and so forth, it definitely has to be on our minds 流派：Re

10、 that death is not important. Analysis： In Emily Dickinsons poem I Heard a Fly Buzz- When I Died, the feeling of death being present in the room is the overall tone. The tie in between death and the flies persistent buzzing is one that must be looked at very closely. The buzzing is not something tha

11、t the average living person would notice but under the particular circumstances, even the smallest of details become noticeable as a man dies. As the voice in the poem is painting the picture of a funeral, the reader becomes more intoned to the idea of death through the use the figurative language a

12、nd symbols when the voice speaks about the mourners who have gathered, the sound of a flies buzz, and the closing of the window. Within the poem Dickinson uses figurative language to her full advantage, using it to assist her in painting the picture of there being a sad moment in time successfully.

13、The usage of the past tense when setting the scene where all the people were standing around grieving was done excellent through the choose of words. When using the word wrung it helps to suggest that the grieving is over for now, and it is now time to take control over their breathing and move on.

14、Also when the voice is speaking of dieing, death is referred to signing away what he would have left to give of what at least be worth giving away. The usage, both placement and number of times used, of the flies buzzing was very critical itself with in the poem. If Dickinson were to use the symbol

15、too much it would take away from the moment of focusing on death and cause people to think more about the fly. The flies buzz I fell is in the text because it is something a person would under a normal situation would ignore, but when you are dieing you become more in touch with your senses. The sen

16、se of hearing is the last one of the five senses a person will loose as the process of dieing comes to a closer, as in this poem. The idea of a window being closed is very symbolic in this poem, of a persons life coming to an end. When the window shuts it cuts off all the light to the persons eyes,

17、and therefore the idea of death is being used. The window in this case may very well not even be a glass window a person would look out, yet instead the lid to the coffin this individual was lying in. Wither or not how Dickinson portrayal of death is realistic or not, she is able to achieve it throu

18、gh the grammatical chooses she makes. By the words she has chosen to use along with the modifiers there is only a couple of different ways to interpret this poem, but the idea of death would have to be in anyone interpretation. This poem made me feel almost a sense of grieving when I closed the book

19、s cover to the words. the author added this little creatures flies and diluted with horror of death, so that death becomes bland or no pain. and this lack of coordination and funny made people feel absurd and meaningless of life. 我昕到一只苍蝇嗡叫 当我死去中，作者加入了苍蝇这一不起眼的小生灵稀释了死亡的恐怖与阴暗，使死亡变得平淡无奇甚至毫无痛觉。苍蝇的闯入以及“嗡嗡”叫声是毫无意义的这就与意义重大的死亡构成了一种不协调甚至是滑稽，而这种不协调与滑稽让人感到生命的荒诞与无谓。
