Both Hubbell's and Dickinson's poems use the word whip to describe what a snake looks like.

Dickinson's use of the word whip is serious and realistic, while Hubbell's use of whip is playful and imaginative Because of the first-person point of view, we discover the snake through the poet's eyes. This shapes the meaning of the poem and how we feel about the snake. The point of view also shapes the style of the poem by dictating the author's word choice. Because Dickinson uses the first-person point of view, we discover the snake through her eyes and, thus, share her feelings toward the snake. Dickinson describes the snake with fear. Wording like "tighter breather," "whiplash," and "zero at the bone" creates a sense of dread toward the "narrow fellow in the grass." Yes. If the poem was written in third-person point of view, we would view the snake through a different lens. We would also be able to bring our own perspectives to the subject of the poem. This would change the way we felt about the creature being described and, thus, would change the meaning we took away from the poem.

You may have met Him- did you not How does the dash affect the reading of the poem?

The dash interrupts the idea before it, introducing another thought that is connected to the first. The dashes create pauses that slow the reader down. However, they don't stop the reader. They tell the reader that this idea isn't over, that it connects with the next line. The dash is a way of organizing ideas and slowing the pace of the poem while keeping everything connected.

How do the dashes and broken lines in "a narrow fellow in the grass" affect the way the poem sounds when read out loud?

The dashes & broken lines create a pause There were many differences. The poem emphasized what the snake looked like, while the prose passage emphasized what the snake was doing. The poem used sound to help create tone, while the prose passage didn't use sound at all. The order of the words was also different. The prose passage needed to use more words to say the same thing. The poem used words more freely and was less focused on writing good sentences and more focused on creating the image. Yes. Because the poem emphasized the image of the snake, it was easier to visualize it while reading the poem. While the writer of the prose passage was trying to tell a story and was more concerned with what the snake was doing, the poem's author wanted the reader to feel what it was like to see a snake slipping through the grass.
