Literature 2 Reading

I’m Nobody! Who Are You?
By Emily Dickenson

In this book, Reading in the Content Areas Literature 2, by author Laura Stark Johnson, I read from the poetry story, I’m Nobody! Who Are You?, on page 84.
I really like this story because I can relate to it. Of all the different stories in this book, this was my favorite.
In this story she tells really who she is and questions the person that she was with if they are “somebody”. She does not want to be famous, just kind of hidden in the background.
It is true how that famous people are unhappy. She uses comparisons like “public-like a frog”, meaning you are always going, hopping, and jumping.
“To tell ones name-the livelong June”. She is referring to something that is hot or famous.
“To an admiring Bog!” She is referring to something that is swampy and the stays together. A Bog is something that is swampy or marshy.
Other stories that are in this book also include short stories, novels, nonfiction, poetry, and drama. There are also famous authors in this book. Some of the authors include O. hennery, John Steinbeck, Jane Addams, Robert Frost, Emily Dickenson, and Dore Schary.
