One of Emily Dickinson's most popular poems is "I'm Nobody! Who are you"? This poem seems to have a light and funny theme because it is about a "nobody". Since most people usually think they are "somebody's", Emily tells them that they really are not. She puts people in their place by telling them that they don't seem to matter as much as they think they do while making them question who they really are. "…showed first 75 words of 317 total…

…showed last 75 words of 317 total…be - somebody! How public - like a Frog-" which makes me think of famous people because they don't have any privacy because their lives are "public", but we still want to be like them (5-6). In this poem Emily Dickinson helps us learn that we should stop thinking highly of ourselves because we really are just like everybody else. Works Cited Charters.
