gbDreams+--+are+well+--+but+Waking's+better,

The title of the poem I choose is "Dreams -- are well -- but Waking's better." It's the title for the poem and it is also in the poem it's self and I think that is not just a coincidence. I think it's there for a few reasons. One reason that it is a very important idea, or picture that Emily Dickinson is trying to get across to the reader. I also think that it being the first line in the entire poem gives it a big significance. I think that the first line of the poem kind of sets the tone of the poem is going to be.. "Dreams -- are well -- but Waking's better." For me it translates to be that Dreams are okay, but waking up in the morning is better. And then at the end of the poem it says that "Leading to no Day." So saying that waking up in the morning means that there will be another day for you to live and that dreaming may lead to you not waking up again. Another kind of poetic device that I found throughout the poem that has to do with main ideas are certain words capitalized. For example "If One wake at Midnight -- better --" So certain words like "One" and "Midnight" are capitalized in the line because they are important subjects in the poem. I think that One is capitalized because it is a word that can be directed to the reader as themselves. I think that Midnight is capitalized because waking up exactly at midnight is technically the morning.
