Emily Dickinson is world renown among poets and those who love literature for her emphasis on both thought and feeling.
She is considered a master of form and syntax and is often called 'a poet of paradox'.
Generally speaking her poems tend to be short and they usually use only one voice (which is not necessarily that of the poet). She published well over 1800 poems of which only a handful of them were titled as is the case of the poem listed here.
Notice her use of form and paradox in referring to hope as a thing with feathers, something that never asks for anything in return.
Family would be the biggest increase on my self esteem because i come from a big family im consatanly being told im pretty and not to care what peopl think. Friends would be the second biggest because they are there when familys not theyre at school with you and helping when your bullied. I dont really have another thing to help with self esteem but i could imagen having a third one if i had a boyfriend i hope this helps somewhat
The antonym would be freeze.
