Dorothy had a good dunking, you may be sure, but she didn't lose her presence of mind even for a second. She kept tight hold of the stout slats and as soon as she could get the water out of her eyes she saw that the wind had ripped the cover from the coop. The poor chickens were fluttering away in every direction, being blown by the wind until they looked like feather dusters without handles. The bottom of the coop was made of thick boards, so Dorothy found she was clinging to a sort of raft, with sides of slats, which readily bore up her weight. After coughing the water out of her throat and getting her breath again, she managed to climb over the slats and stand upon the firm wooden bottom of the coop, which supported her easily enough. "Why, I've got a ship of my own!" she thought, more amused than frightened at her sudden change of condition; and then, as the coop climbed up to the top of a big wave, she looked eagerly around for the ship from which she had been blown.
It was far, far away, by this time. Perhaps no one on board had yet missed her, or knew of her strange adventure. Down into a valley between the waves the coop swept her. And when she climbed another crest the ship looked like a toy boat, it was such a long way off. Soon it had entirely disappeared in the gloom, and then Dorothy gave a sigh of regret at parting with Uncle Henry and began to wonder what was going to happen to her next.
Just now she was tossing on the lap of a big ocean, with nothing to keep her afloat but a miserable wooden hen-coop that had a plank bottom and slatted sides, through which the water constantly splashed and wetted her through to the skin! And there was nothing to eat when she became hungry—as she was sure to do before long—and no fresh water to drink and no dry clothes to put on.

Ineed it now in this discussion you will use what you learned about the poems "will there really be a 'morning'? ", "i dwell in possibility", and "ozymandias" to compare how both dickinson and shelley used form - lines, capitalization, and punctuation - to bring meaning to the poems. let's check out one of your classmate's posts: in both "will there really be a 'morning'? " and "i dwell in possibility," emily dickinson capitalizes the words in the poem that tell the reader what to focus on in the poem. shelley also capitalizes words that are not names. these must be important to the meaning of the poem. create one post that compares how both dickinson and shelley use form - lines, capitalization, and punctuation - to bring meaning to the poems "will there really be a 'morning'? ", "i dwell in possibility", and "ozymandias".
