"I'm Nobody! Who Are You?" By Emily Dickenson

In this poem, the author is talking about how she is nobody. She clearly states how she is nobody and she asked other people if they are someone. Im guessing that being nobody is a good thing and that being someone is bad. In the second paragraph of the poem; she says, " How dreary-to be-Someboby! How public- like a frog-". By this she is telling us that being someone is not a good thing . The part about being public like a frog means that you stand out of the crowd like a frog.
The message of this poem is that you should be your self. Don't try to hide who you are; being you is perfectly fine and you shouldn't try to be anyone else. When she says that she is a nobody, she doesnt mean that she is invisible, but she is who she is and she doesn't stand out or grab any attention towards her. In the world, there are so many people who try to be like celebrities and be famous, that they forget who the really are and it corrupts our society.
