In both poems, the poetic element that stood out to me the most is the use of personification.
In "This Is My Letter To The World," nature is personified as being able to speak, "The simple news that Nature told"(3) Dickinson states that she cannot see what was told, but asks that the countrymen do not judge her regardless.
In "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" she applies personification to death, who appears to be the driver of a carriage, arriving to take the speaker into the afterlife.
"Because I could not stop for Death -
He kindly stopped for me -" (1-2)
Dickinson's speaker is describing her experience with death. In the opening stanza, she was too busy for death - but Death had enough time for her - and was civil enough to stop .
"We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –"
Death's "civility" caused her to drop everything that occupied her time before his visit, and she enjoyed the carriage ride instead.

Answer:
Anne, because she is always trying to pet his cat and writing in her journal.
Explanation:
Since Anne is always trying to hurt the cat and always writing in her diary, Peter thinks she is a friendly and sensitive person who will understand his feelings about everything that is happening. He sees Anne as a person he can talk to and express himself with, so he thinks she is trustworthy and willing to be the same kind of trusted company for her.
