Report

In one poem, she says that she has been caught in a trap so many times that she is now afraid of being caught again. She also states that she fears what others think of her because they do not see through her mask (which refers to the persona or mask society puts on people). This poem implies that Emily Dickinson has changed her personality to fit into society's expectations and wants to be known as an extraordinary person rather than be seen as someone who is just average or normal. Finally, I have found a https://dentmaker.net/ website where I can find a writer to do my papers on time at any topic.
