From this article, I found out Emily actually was well acquainted with her quick wit and captivating humor around the neighborhood when she was a little. People say she spent her life in the seclusion of a world, but actually she was closed to her intimate friends.
Dominant in her nature poems is the friendly spirit. Her poetry was mainly on life, nature, love, time and eternity. She has no fear of death and mortality, and joy was in her life. The pathos of her love is evident in the way she treasures memories of the past.
The reader of Emily Dickinson's poems is soon aware of an uplifting effect received from them; she writes with conviction and persuasion.

I am not sure what I am looking at here. Is this paragraph a summation of the article that is posted at the end? Is the last sentence in the paragraph your thought? Is it the thought of the authors of the article that you have just read? These distinctions must be made clear. I have copied the text of this post to a Google Doc and have shared it with you with my comments. Try to fix the problems that I note here by next Friday. Schedule a time to talk with me about anything that you do not understand.
