Why does Dickinson set the poem “Dying” in an ordinary bedroom, which isn’t even described? What might be her purpose in choosin

g this setting as opposed to somewhere outside or in a public place? Is the choice of setting significant in any way?

I would think that setting the scene of someone dying is appropriate to be in a bedroom where a sick person would most likely be (if not in a hospital) such as someone in palliative care for example and the bedroom stillness is commented on  broken only by a fly and whose buzz perhaps accentuated the otherwise stillness. If the person's death was outside or in a public place it would more likely be the result of a, say an accident, or say an assassination such as that of Martin Luther King  so since it is inside in a bedroom it indicates the dying is just a normal death from illness and/or old age.

Dickinson makes the experience of death universal by setting her poem in an ordinary bedroom.<span> She creates a deathbed scene and describes bare necessities such as the state of the people gathered around her and her “keepsakes,” which she has willed away, to portray the responsibilities that go with dying.</span><span> The choice of this setting as opposed to a public place shows the poet’s realistic and almost matter-of-fact approach toward death.</span><span> The bedroom setting allows Dickinson to keep some descriptions simple and direct, void of sentimentality.</span><span> </span>

Why did Churchill replace Chamberlain as Britain's new prime minister shortly after World War II began?
Natasha2012 [34]

There should have been options to choose from for this question. I found the options elsewhere and the correct answer would be because Churchill had a better understanding of the situation with Hitler than Chamberlain did.

Churchill knew that diplomacy would not work with Hitler and the only way to reach a resolution was through military force and tactics.

Answer: In “The Nymph’s Reply” Raleigh criticizes the folly of the Shepherd with a skeptical appraisal of the “seize the day” mentality of Marlowe’s poem. The reason being that he's promised to the nymph mean nothing to her because of her perspective of reality about love and that it is not forever and changes with time.

I hope it helps, Regards.
