She capitalizes common nouns.

She regularly uses the dash.

Explanation:

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (1830 – 1886) was an American poet. She is famous for her poems which often explore the theme of death and mortality, but also for the unusual punctuation that she uses in her work.

Dickinson often capitalized nouns (and also other words) to highlight their meaning. She would often use dashes instead of periods or commas.

Here is an example of her poem "Because I Could Not Stop For Death":

Because I could not stop for Death –

He kindly stopped for me –

The Carriage held but just Ourselves –

And Immortality.

As seen in this excerpt, nouns "Death", "Carriage" and "Immortality" are capitalized, together with the pronoun "Ourselves." Moreover, dashes are used after each line.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
