of reading and writing, that was all I wanted to do. Eventhough, I thought of myself as an exceptional writer, I wasn’t. At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Stigger, my English teacher made us do a poetry analysis on the poem Hope by Emily Dickenson; however, I had no clue what her poem meant, or why it was even a well known poem.
