Read the poem “I’m Nobody” by Emily Dickinson and answer the question that follows.

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!

What is the significance of the word “Nobody” in the poem?

A. It is used negatively in the poem, but it usually has a positive connotation.
B. It is used positively in the poem, but it usually has a negative connotation.
C. It has no significance in the poem.
D. It is a code for “cool” in the poem.

It is used positively when she says "How dreary to be somebody" this implies that she is saying she would rather be nobody than somebody. It usually has a negative connotation (implication) in modern speech. If i were to say to someone, "You're a complete nobody", they would be offended but if I said it to the writer of this poem, the would be happy.
