Sarah Jayne Bellando

Style: Metaphysical

Theme: Don’t dwell on death.
Organization:
Thesis: The author uses figurative language, tone, and structure to reinforce her point of not dwelling on the idea of death.
TS1: The Isolated tone shows how her dwelling on the funeral is keeping her from being happy.
TS2: The shift in the last quatrain moves the focus of the poem to the outcome of her dwelling on death.

3. Literally a funeral in her brain
All in her head
Not sure if it is her funeral or someone else’s
Mourners everywhere
Poem ends abruptly with her falling down into another world
