Dickinson's punctuation and capitalization are idiosyncratic. What do you do with something like this? Is it a deliberate caesura? Check the manuscript

For this poem, you really need to read between the lines. Stanza two's opening implies that an action has taken place between Stanza two's beginning and Stanza one's ending. What happened?

Suk compares this to trying to teach “a medical student who is training to be a surgeon but who fears that he’ll become distressed if he sees or handles blood.”

Once you find something hateful, it is easy to argue that exposure to the hateful thing could traumatize some other people.
Easy to argue, but not easy to argue convincingly, right?

I guess Gardner's multiple intelligences, particularly intrapersonal intelligence, really took hold!

national debate and dinner table
Perhaps this is what Cross calls "plain-folks appeal" (211). It's also worth noting that the speech was delivered from Crawford, Texas, with the open Texas landscape behind the President (rather than the White House).
