Explanation for the Content of the Website
The visual rhetoric of this website reflects Emily Dickinson's style because of its simplicity. She was not very outgoing, always stayed inside, therefore, I can gather that she was not a thrill seeker. Which, in my opinion, reflects the visual of the website.
The artwork and photography that was chosen (in the 'Her Poetry' tab) reflects things that she includes in the poems listed. The beer mug and the angry face represent two of the poems listed. The two pictures of feet and stones represent the symbols that she uses in many of her other poems. The bird represents another symbol that she uses, as well as one of the poems that are listed.
The reason I picked the song, "The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" by the Andrews Sisters, was because it was a very popular song when she was young in the 1940s. This represents her childhood (past). The YouTube link of birds relates to Emily Dickinson because in many of her poems, she talked about birds. This is one of many of her symbols she included in her poetry, as well as feet and stones. The song "Gone Too Soon" by Daughtry represents one of her themes that were in multiple poems by Emily: death.
