Isolated Theme: Dont 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.
