Pap is a drunk and is careless.

Why is he a drunk, because he gets "drunk as a fiddler".

Why is he careless, because that does not sound very safe to "clumb out on to the porch-roof and slid down a stanchion". Also he sounds kind of dumb to sell a coat for forty-rod whisky to get drunk. "traded his new coat for a jug of forty-rod".

How does Bryant use imagery to develop the idea of death? Cite evidence from the text to support your response.
Bingel [31]

Bryant uses images of coffins, tombs, and graves to develop the idea of death. The poet paints a scary picture of death using words such as agony, shroud, and shudder:

Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall. 
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house, 
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart—

He describes the "stern agony" of dying and uses words such as shroud and pall to suggest the cloth wrapped around dead bodies and caskets. Bryant also draws comparisons between the freedom and space of nature and the narrow confinement of coffins.

He further explains how nature acts as a "great tomb of man" as everyone gets mixed up in the earth after dying.
