Answer the following questions from one of three points of view: a child’s, the poet’s, or your personal point of view. What does Dickinson ask and tell the reader in the first stanza?
How does a “Somebody” behave like a frog?
What other ideas does the comparison suggest?

Point of view: personal

In the first stanza, Dickinson, through the narrator, tells the reader that she’s “Nobody” and asks the reader who he or she is and whether he or she is a “Nobody” like her.

Just as a frog's constant croaking advertises its presence, a “Somebody” will grab attention through speaking and outward behavior. By comparing a “Somebody” to a frog, Dickinson suggests that this type of person does not really have any qualities or skills that make him or her worth noticing—this person is as dull as a croaking frog.

Being a modest and thoughtful “Nobody” is preferable to being a “Somebody” who simply makes a lot of noise to get attention.
