Journal 28

Emily Dickinson's poem, I heard a fly buzz has a very disheartening and depressing mood.  It is definitely not something you would want to read if you are looking to get into a good move.  Although the mood is not a optimistic one, it is still a very well written poem that has a good message through it. 

Emily Dickinso writes this poem and she come to the fact that she is going to die.  I think that this would be a very hard thing to come to terms with.  You only get to live once and you want to take all the advantages of the time that you have.  I do not want to die any time soon and to come to terms and accept that I am going to die.  Emily, no matter what she is feeling, has accepted this.  The part that I find somewhat funny is the fly.  Why does she write about a fly?  If you think about it, what purpose does a fly have in life?  Nobody really likes them and I find them very annoying.  They always find a way to get into your house or around you and you just want to kill them.  I think that Emily wrote like this because she pictured herself as the fly.  If you think about Emily and what she was like, she never got out and nobody really wanted to be around her.  She may have seemed as annoying to other people and her family.  I think she wrote about the fly because she wanted to say that everything in life has a purpose.  No matter what you are, how annoying you may be, there is always a purpose for you.  I think that this is a great message that Emily is trying to send.  She is trying to reach out to the people that were like her and show them that people can make a difference in life just like she did with her writing.
