We Grow Accustomed to the Dark by Valeria Vázquez

We Grow Accustomed to the Dark by Emily Dickinson

•       Task 1: The poem expresses the idea that life is uncertain and filled with darkness. Do you agree or disagree? In an essay of 150 to 170 words, explain your opinion. Support your ideas with details from the text as well as your own experiences.

This poem expresses the idea that life is uncertain and filled with darkness. It also talks about the decisions that we have to take sometimes; at the school, at the work, with our friends, family, etc.

I think that this poem has a good use of metaphores because it show us that it doesn´t matter where we are or when. We can addapt to any situation that life presents us because this is what help us to learn of our mistakes.

Some situations are harder than other ones but it doesn´t matter if there’s a lot of darkness in our lifes. We can pass through all our problems.

I loved the idea of Emily Dickinson because I get stressed very easily but this poem gives me a little bit of hope and makes me look for the good side of the things.
