4. read the passage. emily dickinson is considered one of america’s greatest poets, but few of her poems were published in her lifetime. born in 1830, dickinson grew up in amherst, massachusetts, and attended school there and in nearby holyoke. she was no doubt familiar with other popular new england writers of her day, especially ralph waldo emerson. dickinson had a fairly normal social life until she reached her mid-twenties, after which she rarely left the home she inherited from her parents. instead, she may have been able to understand the world better by viewing it from a distance. with a sharp eye and keen intellect, she pondered nature, friendship, love, and death in poems of powerful simplicity. only about seven of her poems were published during her lifetime, all without her consent. when she died in 1886, relatives found over 1,500 more of dickinson’s poems, many of them written on napkins and slips of paper neatly tied up with ribbons. from this biography, what can you conclude about emily dickinson? a. she imitated other new england writers. b.she was clever but unfriendly. c.she wrote about topics she knew little about. d. she was talented but shy.

Emily dickinson now considered one of the most popular and inspirational poets in american literature, emily dickinson only achieved recognition after death. in her lifetime, especially in childhood, dickinson had a troubled relationship with her family. struggling against family members who did not understand her ways, emily kept to herself and wrote her poetry in isolation. as she rarely shared her writing with anyone, not many knew of her gifts until it was too late. her decision not to share her work may have been her achilles' heel as it ruined any chance of her being published when she was alive. after her demise, it was her sister, lavinia dickinson, who finally discovered emily's true talents. lavinia found hundreds of poems that emily had written, and in 1890, the first volume of her poetry was published. however, dickinson was not recognized as a literary genius until the 1950s when critics began to appreciate her unusual style of poetry. thus, like a phoenix, emily dickinson's poetry was reborn. why does the author state that dickinson's decision to not share her work was her achilles' heel? a. to show that dickinson's decision to not share her work became a weakness as it prevented people from recognizing her talent while she was alive b. to show that dickinson's decision to not share her work caused her downfall as it made people believe that she was not good enough to be a writer c. to show that dickinson's decision to not share her work led to her failure as a writer as she slowly faded away to unimportance over time d. to show that dickinson's decision to not share her work sent out a misguided message to the public as she was seen as too proud and snobbish
