DISCOVERING THE TRUTH ABOUT EMILY DICKINSON The life of the famous female American poet, Emily Dickinson, is the subject of this essay. I decided to write about Emily Dickinson in particular because of her genius through her poetry, and her very early reclusive life though adopting skepticism about religion. In this essay, I wrote about Dickinsons family, education, personality, solitary, few relationships, illness and death. Emily Dickinson was born in 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts, where she lived all of her life and died. ... Emily Dickinsons family was famous in Amherst. Emily was the second of three children of Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson. ... Dickinson was a hard working, and a very religious man. ... Emily Dickinsons mother, in contrast, was seen as a quiet and unassuming woman. In fact, she was somehow criticized by her own daughter, Emily Dickinson, that she "trembled, obeyed, and was silent" when Mr. Dickinson spoke. Another critique said by Emily was that she "dose not care for thought"; was not intellectual individual. ... Dickinson was so active in her community, but not in a leadership role like her husband. ... Emily Dickinson received an extensive education compared to what was usual for a female at that time.
