[07:23.18]Question 6-10 according to Part B.
[07:25.24]6.What is the topic of last week's discussion?(  )
[07:28.17]7.How different is Emily Dickinson from Walt Whitman? ( )
[07:30.21]8.When was Emily Dickinson born? ( )
[07:32.25]9.How did Emily Dickinson spend her solitary⁷ days?( )
[07:34.31]10.how many poems were discovered in her room after her death?( )
[07:34.42]Today is my turn to give the weekly oral report.
[07:39.85]And the topic that Professor May has assigned me is
[07:45.41]the life of the poet Emily Dickinson.
[07:50.46]Compared to Walt Whitman whom we discussed last week,
[07:56.91]I found Emily Dickinson strikingly different.
[08:02.26]She seems in fact to be the complete opposite of Whitman
[08:08.11]in her life and in her work.
[08:12.48]I would like to share briefly⁸ with the class
[08:17.13]some of the essential facts of her biography.
[08:22.38]Emily Dickinson was born in 1830,
[08:27.73]in Amherst,Massachusetts,arely a decade after Whitman.
[08:34.68]In her early twenties,for reasons which still remain a mystery,
[08:41.24]she began to withdraw from ordinary contact with the world.
[08:47.38]For the remaining thirty years of her life,
[08:51.63]she was seldom seen outside her home.
[08:56.78]In this respect,she was quite unlike Whitman who loved the great outdoors.
[09:04.64]Emily Dickinson spent her solitary days corresponding with friends
[09:12.79]and writing hundreds of remarkable⁹ poems, notably¹⁰,
[09:19.14]"I Heard a Fly Buzz" and the poem we read for today,"I am nobody".
[09:27.19]Although she showed some of her poems to her family
[09:32.33]and sent some in letters to her friends,
[09:37.27]only four were published in her lifetime.
[09:42.73]Most of them,almost twelve hundred poems,
[09:48.87]were discovered in her room after she died in 1886 at the age of 56.
[09:58.33]These poems established her as a major poet,and several modern critics
[10:06.48]consider her the greatest woman poet of the English language.
[10:12.54]Ah,that's about all I have.Are there any questions?
[10:18.99]If not,we should probably begin talking about Dickinson's "I am nobody",
[10:26.15]the poem Professor May assigned for this week's class discussion.
[10:32.89]Question 6-10 according to Part B.
[10:34.95]6.What is the topic of last week's discussion?(  )
