In high school I learned a few things about Emily Dickinson, but after reading "My Emily Dickinson," I learned a great deal more about her and her lifestyles. I thought that there weremajor differences between Emily Dickinson and Gertrude Stein. Emily kept herself where as Gertrude was more outgoing didn't mind the recognition she was receiving. However, I did noticed that their literally work, were very similar and they were both on the same path with writing skills and language. I also thought that it was a lot easier to understand versus the sonnets we had to read for last week.
