Like Troy Maxson, Emily Dickinson personifies death

Like Troy Maxson, Emily Dickinson personifies death. What sort of character is Death in her poem? Summarize their relationship--how Death treats her and how she responds. How does the tone of her voice, the feelings she expresses, change as she rides on her journey with Death? Kenyon pictures death more routinely in images of the end of the day. How would you compare her voice with Dickinson's?
Frost begins "Mending Wall" by writing, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall" (l. 1). Why does the speaker in the poem question the value of walls? How does his attitude compare with that of his neighbor? What different meanings does the image of the wall seem to represent for each of them? Does the image of the wall symbolize similar or different things in Garcia's prose poem "Ladders"?
