This poem, "A norrow Fellow in the Grass" is a poem that was a little more difficult to follow. It had some hard to understand items in the poerm. The symols are tough to catch and the subjuect of the poem is hard to realize. The subjuect of the peom after careful reading is a snake. A good symbol would be. A narrow fellow in the grass. The grass is where snakes live. Another thing this poem is describing is the writers feeling of snakes. This is Describged when she says," But I niver met this fellow attended, or alone withouta tighter breathing and zero at the bone." Theis means that she never saw a snake without loosing hear breath from fear and have shivers in her bones. 1205241000 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My first thought of what this one meant was way off. But I never thought that it would be about a snake. Thr first two paragraphs are explaining an experience with a snake that Dickinson may have had once before that she thought was important and wanted to right about. I like how in the last paragraph she describes how scared she is. The description and words she uses alm,ost made me scared with her. What I thought was interesting was in the 3rd stanza when she changes gender and talks a barefoot boy. To me it seems like she did that to say maybe that boys aren't as afraid of snakes as girls might be. Another good point that was brought up is how Dickinson mentions barefoot in the next line and boys are more likely to be found barefoot than girls. One of the things that I enjoy most about Dickinsons' poems is how she leaves things open for you to think or have your own opinion about.1205459085
