"A Word Is Dead"

"A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day."

I think that she is trying to say a number of things. She is trying to
say that while some people think that words do not last any longer
than the length of time is takes to say them. They think that words
are dead things that can not mean anything and can not make a lasting
impression on anyone. Dickinson, on the other hand, completely
disagrees. She thinks that words can last for a long time. She thinks
that words can last forever, and that can definitely make a lasting
impact on a lot of people. She says that words, such as those used in
speeches or famous letters, can make people do a number of things, and
they can also make people believe a number of things, whether or not
they are true. Words are very powerful, which Emily Dickinson knew
very well. She understood their importance, and she saw them as living
things that last forever, no matter what anyone else around her
thought. She knew that words could make a huge impact, no matter how
small the word is, because of people's interpretations of the word and
the situation. Words could also mean a number of other things, because
they could be interchanged with quite a few things that other people
do not consider important, but she believes to be so. They could be
synonymous with things such as plants or animals, which Dickinson
spent much of her time studying and writing about. She could see the
power and importance in every situation, while many people could not,
because they did not spend as much of their time sitting out studying
nature and the things that are in it. Dickinson saw quite a few things
that other people did not, and she saw the good, beauty, and
importance in every situation.
