Literature – Comparison of Short Stories and Poems This paper focuses on the similarities and differences of the representation of death and the impermanence in the short story "A Father's Story" by Andre Dubus, and the poem "Because I could not stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson. "A Father's Story" and "Because I could not stop for Death" are two very different approaches to the subjects of Death and impermanence. First, their forms are quite different. "A Father's Story" is a short story and is true to that form: it is brief, it uses few characters, it strives to prove a main point, and it uses concise, pointed writing to move the story along quickly and to portray characters by the way they speak. "Because I could not stop for Death" is a poem, written in balanced, lined verse with specific words used to arouse an imaginative or emotional response from the reader. Secondly, the two works approach the subject matter differently in several aspects. "A Father's Story" has a moral point of view about the father's abandonment of his principles to save his daughter. In this way, the short story acts as a parable and reflects Dubus' own Catholic beliefs. "Because I could not stop for Death" has no particular moral and makes no mention of God or religion; however, it speaks of "eternity" and gives Death human characteristics and is laden with sadness and hopelessness. In this way, it reflects Dickinson's own isolation and loneliness. Comparing these two works shows how very different writing forms can be in style and substance, even though they discuss the same topics. ?
