1. I learned that Emily Dickinson was an interesting person. She kept aloof from most people, but I was impressed by her love of nature. During this research project, I read a lot of books about her, as well as some of her work. Although these were easy to read, it was difficult for me to gather all the information that I needed. Slowly, I started to discover interesting facts about her life. This is when I discovered her love of nature. The reason she wanted to segregate from people was because she wanted to be closer to nature. I dug up more research about her love of nature. I learned about her background and the people that surrounded her. The area that Emily Dickinson lived in was right in the middle of nature. Hutchinson, Newton, and Emerson were the three people who most influenced her in her study of nature.

2. My research topic was related to some of the works about nature that we have discussed in class. I compared the works of Emerson and Dickinson discovered some contrasting opinions between them. I furthered my studies by reading Nature by Emerson, and by studying Transcendentalism. Both Emerson and Dickinson were considered Transcendentalists. Dickinson kept secluded from society and bonded with nature. However, from her poems, I discovered some evidence that leads me to believe that she began to have some fears of nature. The most important difference in opinion between Emerson and Dickinson was that Emerson believed that human and nature are actually one.
