Kaila+K.-+I+am+Emily+Dickinson

My I Am person is Emily Dickinson.I knew this person before I started this 'I Am...' project, because in 7th grade, I learned about Dickinson's poem 'I am nobody, who are you?' In the poem, I could feel how lonely she was when she was creating that poem, and how pure her mind was, unlike other people's at society. She had agoraphobia, wich was a medidcal illness that avoids meeting people. So she did not go outside from the age of 23. I think that is why she is not affected by outer people, and could create her own poem with her own individuality. She created over 1700 poems overall, not publishing any of them in her living life. Her will was to burn all of her poems, but when she died, her sister, Lavinia, published all of her poems, so her poems could see outside. Even though she was well educated and taught, she did not try to go out to the society and show people her ability to work. Instead, she stayed home as I stated, and wore only white clothes, and did not marry.Her poems were mostly considered imaginism, and it's because she met Charles Wadsworth before she got agoraphobia, and got affected by legitimism, which led her to imaginism.


 * How would her poems change if she did not have an agorophobia?**
