Описание к видео Grade 12 Poetry "The Shipwreck" - Emily Dickinson

Poem 12 of the grade 12 prescribed poetry for English Home Language, Paper 2 (Literature).

Summary:
The poem is about an actual shipwreck in which 40 people lost their lives. The poem contrasts the joy at the survival of four people and the sorrow that 40 people died. It is this sorrow/loss that is the focus of stanzas three and four. The tale is told to children on a cold winter night. The speaker's sorrow is clear and there is no empty cliche offered as "only the waves reply".
