Emily Dickensen's poem has been inferenced, analysed and crtisised!
Wow! I am surprised with the intrinsic interest in this poem.
I will add my own interpretation; and inference this poem using an old
Chinese proverb; source unknown;'...he who has a lot to say; says too much
and not enough, he has no depth in the spoken word. He who speaks little
has much to say and has depth in what he says...'
I hope this inferencing is clear and understood.

Yes okay! We all get that being quite and mysterious is great but isn't
this poem telling us to be ourselves have any of you ever considered that
maybe the loud people in your class are being themselves. How on earth
would you no if you don't talk to them and label them as something they are
not. You never judge someone just because of the way they look, wear etc
stop labeling them by societys acceptance of it. maybe the loud people are
affraid of being themselves maybe they are being themselves did you ever
consider the fact that it might be the quite people that are scared of
being themselves. loud and outgoing people are being themselves see you get
it they couldn't give a rats what you people think cause they are enjoying
life and expressing their feelings "being themselves"

This poem of Emily Dickinson’s, I’m nobody who are you?, is very
comforting. I think the intent of this poem is to cheer you up when you’re
feeling down and lonely. It’s supposed to remind you that whatever
situation you’re in, whatever your feeling, you’re not alone. Someone else
is feeling the same way you are. When Emily mentions nobodies, I think she
means a person who is powerless and can’t change what or who they are.
Because Emily continued to use I she is considering herself a nobody. This
makes sense because she was very isolated her whole life and didn’t feel
important while living.

The frog reference does make sense. I haven't read too many previous posts
so I don't know if this is explained or not but the similie that Dickinson
uses to compare "somebodies" to frogs is genius. Frogs croak constantly
making their existence known to the whole "bog" (swamp). We can also infer
from this poem that Dickinson did consider herself a "nobody" because she
was not well known while she was alive and only 10 of her poems were
published. She does however illustrate a luxury in being a nobody that the
dreary somebodies cannot understand.

Is it possible that Emily was actually compltley insane and that we are all
over analyzing this. The reason, because the frog refrence makes no sense
to the rest of the poem. I think its very possible she was just completley
insane

what Ryan said is so true!!! I'd rather be a Nobody 10 times more than be a
somebody. I wouldnt know how to act if i werent being myself! I wouldnt
want to be a around a frog, someone thats tryin to hard to fit in when
everyones born to stand out in their own way! be happy in your OWN SKIN!!!!

I think this poem is really inspiring and I think Emily has a wide range of
knowledge. From my perspective, Emily is telling you to be yourself, and
being like everyone else is boring.
