Reread “I’m Nobody! Who Are You?” and then answer each of the following questions in two to three sentences.


I’m Nobody! Who are you?

Are you—Nobody—too?

Then there’s a pair of us!

Don’t tell! they’d advertise—you know!

How dreary—to be—Somebody!

How public—like a Frog—

To tell one’s name—the livelong June—

To an admiring Bog!

Answer 1

C I’m sorry if I’m wrong

Answer 2

A. The main message of the poem is to be yourself. The narrator takes pride in calling herself “Nobody.” She’s proud of that distinction. She doesn’t want to be known for being annoying like a “frog” or a “Somebody.”

B. Readers who are shy or modest, those who worry about their appearance, and those who lack confidence would feel validated by this poem. The poem suggests that it’s not a bad thing to be far away from the attention of other people.

C. A few adjectives describe the poem’s mood. It sounds sarcastic when the narrator refers to an “admiring bog.” How can a swamp have pride like a parent watching her child? The comment on how “dreary” it is to be “Somebody” sounds judgmental because the narrator is proud of being an individual.

D. I agree. Often I don’t like attention and want to be left alone. The label of “nobody” is typically negative. But this poem changes my perspective about myself because it gives me confidence to be just who I am. Sometimes I worry about fitting in or becoming popular. After reading this poem, I feel that what's more important is for me to follow my goals. I also recognize that my friends and classmates act a certain way when they’re trying hard to be popular.
