Question

Read the following poem and then respond to the question below: "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" By Emily Dickinson
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one's name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

Answer 1

Answer:

Dickinson is known for not being fond of fame. In this poem, She explains how being a "nobody" is actually quite nice rather than being somebody; that anonymity is preferable to fame and public in general.This statement is proven to be true by the part of the poem "How public – like a Frog –". Why is a 'somebody' like a frog? An idea is because it croaks its (self-)importance constantly, to remind its surroundings that it is – indeed – Somebody.
