Emily Dickenson In the poem, “I’m Nobody,” by the famous poet Emily Dickenson, she talks about people being a nobody. Quite a few people believe that being a nobody symbolizes failure. This statement is completely false. Being a nobody can make a person work harder and realize they actually deserve what they receive in life. A somebody does not always work as hard because they are given large amounts of gifts for no reason by the hundreds of people they know. Also, in the time the poem was written, people were only considered “somebody” if they were so rich they did not have to work. The reader might agree with the author because being a nobody can make a person work much harder so they can succeed. A nobody may also notice that since they are not given any extras in life, they deserve everything they achieve. An unknown person without any friends is more likely to work harder than a movie star with tons of money and a great deal of friends because they are not given any shortcuts to a problem.
