Blog post due: Choose any question (from samples posted on the blog) that you have not yet worked on yet and write an answer to it based on only Emily Dickinson's poems. Due by class time!!


2. “The language of a poem is often that of one thing compared to another.” In the work of at least
two poets you have studied, explore how poets have made their subjects come alive through
different means of comparing them.

Emily Dickinson is a unique character that did her work in the environment that she prefered was safer and more interesting than the rest of the poets at that time. Dickinson lived in almost complete isolation from the outside world, but actively maintained many correspondences and read widely what helped her to create and progress. Throughout most of her poems, Dickinson explains her point of view on humanity and her own experience before living in the community in the past. For example one of her poems “  I’m Nobody! Who are you? “ she is pretending to have a conversation with another person similar to herself; “I’m Nobody! Who are you? Are you – Nobody – too? Then there’s a pair of us!” this three lines clearly explains her vision and her style of language. In the same poem, she compares public with a frog “ How public – like a Frog “, in my opinion by highlighting this specific frame she compares the loud people that she ran from to frogs that always make an unpleasant noise. Emily Dickinson since she lived alone and didn’t communicate with an outside world did a fantastic job by creating art and exploring new ways to write and create new styles of writing.
