.... of the poem that the author is coming from personal expierence. The author speaks of how her younger sister passed away and how heartbroken their mother was. Now it seems she is faced with her first born possibly dying in an untimely manner.

.... snowtime-" "( A Haunted House Pg. 321). This quote shows us what places and actions the ghosts associate with there joy and love. Using stream of consciousness gives us a better feeling of what the characters are going through, which in turn gives us a better understanding of the meaning. We also see the use of irony, using a word or phrase to mean the exact opposite of its literal or normal meaning. The irony is that the story is titled "A Haunted House" which made us think that the house was an evil place. The house ends up being where every thing good happens. The ghosts did not haunt the people , instead they make them real .....

.... an analogy of how their love is to be viewed. Donne uses many examples of figurative language throughout his poem eventually ending it with an image of a circle, the symbol of perfection. This perfection is attained by parting at the beginning of the circle and reuniting at the point where the curves reconnect. Donne’s monologue is unique because he uses metaphysical comparisons to show the union of the lovers during their period of separation. The poem begins with a metaphysical comparison between virtuous dying men whispering to their souls to leave their bodies and the two lovers saying goodbye before a journey. The poet states, “Le .....
