Answer:

I'm nobody! Who are you? by Emily Dickinson

Explanation:

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!

The poem stands out by using exclamations marks. As if she is trying to get her point across. She also uses the dashes to make It emphasizes ideas, It indicates missing words or phrases, It replaces commas or periods.

The author uses the word ''Nobody'' which would mean invisable, not poular, lonely. She also uses the word ''Somebody'' meaning popular, visable, liked.

The poems meaing is she would rather be a nobody than a somebody because she thinks it would be dull or bleck. she compares ''somebody'' to a frog meaning ''a somebody'' grabs your attencion without earning it. She also compares society to a bog meaning that the praise society offers to a ''somebody'' is worthless

Read the sentence. When will Lena tell ''him'' the truth? What kind of complement is indicated by the bolded word? predicate nom
Artist 52 [7]
"Him" is the indirect object.

"Lena" is the subject, the person performing the action. "Tell" is the verb, the action performed. "The truth" is the direct object, the recipient of the action. "Him" is affected by the action.

Hope this helps! :)
