Read "I'm Nobody! Who Are You?" by Emily Dickinson. I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us – don't tell! They'd banish us; you know! How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog To tell one's name the livelong day To an admiring bog! It is a great comfort to find someone who shares similar feelings. This is a theme found in the poem. How does repetition help strengthen this theme? The repeated words make the reader feel alone and unaccepted. The repeated words are full of serious language. The repeated words talk about animals and nature. The repeated words emphasize that the two friends are alike and together.
