" I'm Nobody by Emily Dickson"

In the poem it talks about someone who is a nobody and they meet someone else who is a nobody. The first two line the authour is asking who the person is and they say they're a nobody too. Then in the next two lines she talks about how they're is a pair of them, but they can't tell anybody or else they'll get banished. It then goes on to talk about how bad it is to be somebody and being somebody and being public is like a frog.

I think the poem is about someone who tends to be in the background alot and likes to be a nobody. I think in the in line 3 and 4 it was intresting how she said:" there is a pair of us" making the infrece there is not alot of them. I think the theme of the poem is sociality and how sometimes being a somebody is like a "bog" which is wet, decayed piece of land. I think the tone of the poem is very upbeat and perk b/c in line 1 and 2 when the authour asks " Who are you" i got the infrence of it being very perky like someone surprised to meet someone new.
