request help from Joshua to I years had been from home poem.
Dear Joshua,
I read your comment to Emily Dickinson poem, 'I Years had been from Home'
and I find your analysis brilliant.I have several questions about this poem
and I will appreciate if you help me to answer them because it is hard for
me to understand this poem.
1. Who or What is the narrator ?
2. Why does he/she laugh a wooden laugh?
3. Why would anyone be fearful of coming home? give reasons for your
answer.
4. Why is the door no ordinary door? What could the door symbolize ?

Thank you so much for your help.

Although I am sure your assignment is long past due and completed I wanted
to share my thoughts on this poem. I believe it is about church and God. I
suppose that is because the door that feels closed to me and the face that
I wouldnt recognize would be that to the Lord's house. I know how to enter
but feel sometimes that I am not ready or am afraid to do so. Maybe a bit
ashamed or still lost and not willing to leave behind the things that I
could not bring into the house. I am not a religious man but I do believe
in God. This is what I interpeted this poem to mean from the first time I
read it. Perhaps it has nothing to do with that at all. That is the nice
thing about poems, they mean what you think they mean.

This poem is for an assignment i'm doing. I'm not sure if what dickinson is
trying to say is as simple as backing away from a fear of a past that she
has when she visits her home. help would be greatly appreciated!!! THank!
