I'm NOBODY, Who are you? by Emily Dickinson

Here's a picture of the one and only Emily Dickinson of which I'm going to paraphrase one of her poems (hopefully without me misinterpreting any of the content). As usual I present to you the poem

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!

PARAPHRASED!

Stanza 1

The poet starts of the poem by willingfully admits of being an outsider or a stranger and ask the reader (or someone) who they are. Then, she answers her own question by a statement of "are you a nobody too?" and the third stanza could indicate that she is relieved that there is someone like her. But in the final stanza the poet said not to reveal who they are because she is afraid of being labelled or in her own word "advertise"

Stanza 2

In the second and final stanza, the poet said of how much she hates to be someone that is famous and comred those who does to frogs (perhaps because frogs make a lot of noise). The 3rd and fourth line shows how much these "frogs" only caught the attention of those around them which are said to be the "bog"

FINAL SAY

Emily Dickinson proves herself to be a fantastic poet with her long list of great poems including this one. The way she uses an amphibian as a symbol to famous people is a way of showing how bold she can be.
