I liked this poem by Emily Dickinson. The poem, "I felt a funeral, in my Brain," in my opinion was talking about what it was like to be sad. She described the feeling very well. It is almost exactly like a funeral in your head. There are people that mourn at funerals and you mourn when you are sad. When the bell rings at the end of church for a funeral it means that you should be happy that the person is in a better place and in real life if you become sad you have to move on with your life. The lesson of this poem is to be sad and move on and don't hold it over your head for your entire life.

This poem seems to be telling the story of the speaker's funeral after her death. I was not surprised at all that this poem was about death because most of the poems by Emily Dickinson are about that same subject. This poem was interesting because it describes a funeral from the deceased's point of view. Dickinson has written poems in which the speaker is dead, but they have not described their own funeral. I have never read any literature in which the speaker's own funeral is described. I found that describing one's own funeral was an unusual concept because no poet would really have wanted to describe how someone feels after they have died. Overall, I would have to say that this poem was OK. It was not as confusing as some of the poems by Dickinson that we have read. I was able to make some sense out of it. 1205460172
