Hope is the thing with feathers by Emily dickinson

• What does the writer want the reader to see, hear, taste, feel and smell?

• What revealing details bring the place, the people or the situation to life? Does the writer use details that people would usually overlook?

• Which are the most striking and revealing images? Which images tend to linger on in our minds? Are they important to the meaning of the work?

• Does the work appeal to one sense in particular or to all the senses?

• What emotions or attitudes do the images arouse in the reader?
