Read this poem by Emily Dickinson. Then answer the
questions on the right.
I'm
Nobody! Who are you?
Are
you – Nobody – too?
Then
there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To
tell one's name – the livelong June –
To
an admiring Bog!
