Read the poem “i shall not care” and answer the question. when i am dead and over me bright april shakes out her rain-drenched hair, though you should lean above me broken-hearted, i shall not care. i shall have peace, as leafy trees are peaceful when rain bends down the bough, and i shall be more silent and cold-hearted than you are now. what is the impact of starting the poem with the imagery in the first two lines?

Starting the poem with the imagery of death focuses the main idea or objective of the point to the issue of dying that the poet talks.

Explanation:

Imagery is the use of figurative descriptions to a certain idea or thing by the writer. This literary device or form makes it easier for the writer to make his/her ideas and objectives easily known and understood while at the same time, also provides the readers with a visual description of the main objective.

Sara Teasdale's poem "I Shall Not Care" is a lyrical poem of two stanzas with four lines each. The poem talks of death as the leveler of all things, the equalizer of each and everything.

Sara's use of imagery in the opening lines of the poem can be seen as her attempt or objective of focusing the main idea of the whole poem as being that of death/dying. Making death or the issue of death being the main focus of the whole work, she seems to make a bold statement about death r the issue of dying.
