Answer 1

The answer to the question is rhyme. Line 1 of the poem is "I'm Nobody! Who are you?" Line 2 of the poem is "Are you - Nobody - too?" To make the lines sound similar, Dickinson is using the poetic technique know as rhyme by using the words "you" and "too."

Answer 2

The first line ends with "you" and the second line ends with "too". These two words, "you" and "too" rhyme. Thus the poet Emily Dickinson uses rhyme to end lines 1 and 2.
