Emily+Dickinson

|||||| Emily Dickinson was born on December 10,1830 in Amherst,Massachusets. She never got married and lived a very simple lifestyle. For many years she lived in isolation. Many people thought she lived in isolation to get away from mainstream society and focus on writing poems from the heart. Most of her education was from Mount Holyoke Female Seminary. Her grandfather,Samuel Fowler Dickinson, was a well known lawyer around her home town. Her father ,Edward Dickinson, was very strict and had a large interest in literature. Her mother, Emily Norcross Dickinson, had great domestic skills. Emily Dickinson wrote very few poems during 1858 and 1866. In 1884 she had a nervous breakdown. On May 15, 1886 Emily Dickinson died. Her major works include: Wild Nights! Wild Nights!, I'm Nobody, and Heart, We Will Forget Him. ||  || I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us - don't tell! They'd banish us, you know! How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog To tell one's name the livelong day To an admiring bog!

 * Personal Response:** I liked the poem very much because it gave a look at her life in Amherst. When she lived in Amherst she wasn't "somebody" . But Dickinson liked being a nobody better.
 * Devices:** Ryhme was the only poetic device used in this poem.
 * Rhyme Scheme:** ABCB
 * Theme:** The theme is that Dickinson would rather be a "nobody" than a "somebody". || **__ Heart! We Will Forget Him! __**

You and I—tonight! You may forget the warmth he gave— I will forget the light!
 * Heart! We will forget him!

When you have done, pray tell me That I may straight begin! Haste! lest while you're lagging I remember him!**

Another on the roof; A half a dozen kissed the eaves, And made the gables laugh.

 * A drop fell on the apple tree

A few went out to help the brook, That went to help the sea. Myself conjectured, Were they pearls, What necklaces could be!

The dust replaced in hoisted roads The birds jocoser sung; The sunshine threw his hat away, The orchards spangles hung.

The breezes brought dejected And bathed them in the glee; The East put out a single flag, And signed the fete away.

Personal Response:**I liked the poem because it puts summer showers in a beautiful perspective.
