I think the only interesting fact throughout your post was the statement about her being one of the first American feminists. Not only is that a positive impact on Dickinson's role in society in terms of what she wanted to achieve or wanted in life, but it's also a great accomplishment. It's good that she's well known for what she's written and the style of how it was written in. I think Dickinson's writing is one of a kind, and she's so unique and well known because of it. so, what if she rarely left her house? It only gave her more time to write these magnificent pieces of poetry and I admire her for that. And, perhaps she had a small group of friends because it was hard for her to relate to other people during that time. Sometimes I feel like that myself and stay close to those I feel most comfortable with. And with that said, I think more greater things can get accomplished and in Dickinson's case, that's an exception. 1204241716

Wow i actually am interested by those things and i think the most ironic thing on that list is that noone knew of poetic genious until after she died, but it is that way with a lot of famous people. Maybe that is good for the poets because if she was famous she would of had less time to think and spend by herself doing poems. I kind of feel bad that she barely had any friends but who needs friends i guess from what i have seen it looks like she did better without them. It would have been nice if she had some kids so they could keep her legacy alive but i dont know. This changed my outlook on her and now i respect her even more. 1204260757
