Emily Dickinson was writing about how instead of organized religion she prefers to stay home and feel the god in herself, in a way. So when she explains this she says "an Orchard" speaking presumably of a space in her own house, and "for a dome" to contrast it with the kind of grand architecture displayed in churches.

In “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church” the speaker says that she has “an Orchard, for a Dome” in the first stanza because she is suggesting that only she is able to view the natural world or sacred.  “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church” is a poem from Emily Dickinson.  

EXPLANATION:  

“Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church” is a poem about how the speaker of the poem displays her devotion to God and behave on a religious holiday, Sabbath. Sabbath is a day where people are supposed to be free from all of their duties. They should spend the day in the church and worship the Almighty.  

Emily Dickinson, as the writer of the poem, tells that while most of the people go to the church for worship in Sabbath, the speaker of the poem remains at home. She has the orchard as the church and the Bobolink as the choir as the substitutes of the going to the church just like others. She wears what she wears daily while others follow a certain dress code and other Catholic norms. She thinks that it is her way to worship on the Sabbath. She thinks that only by nature does worship could be done.

It is about how the speaker of the poem sees the Sabbath differently as others. She thinks that Sabbath should be celebrated at home, not in the church. She thinks that Sabbath should be celebrated in the natural world or sacred.

taurus [48]

Answer:

Mark Twain's observations in his writings made him an undisputed, and for many insurmountable, master of the art of irony.

With a popular and humorous style, Mark Twain contrasts in his works the idealized world of childhood, innocent and at the same time rogue, with a disenchanted conception of the adult man. In his later works, however, the sense of humor gives way to pessimism and bitterness expressed with irony and sarcasm.

Explanation:

<u>Some examples of his ironic style are the following: </u>

"It is stated that German wine is distinguished from vinegar solely by label."

"The new fashion philosophers declare that it is urgent to buy land because it is no longer being manufactured and it is very necessary."

"The new thinkers pose the great need of women for humans because without them there would be very few inhabitants of the earth."

"I, Mark Twain, assure you that if you ban me from smoking in heaven I will retire from there."

 

"I think if you could cross the human with the cat, it would improve while the human would decay."

"Building walls around a cemetery is a useless expense because those who are inside do not want to leave and those who are outside do not want to enter."

 

"When I die, I will choose paradise for the weather and hell for good company."

Explanation: After having presented the problems brought about by the existence of factions in democracy, Madison argues that both forbidding factions would go against liberty and preventing them from coming into existence (by enforcing absolute equality) is impossible. The solution he proposes is to let factions be and only control their effects to avoid sinister interests from harming the population.
