"Small like a wren; and my hair is bold, like the chestnut burr."in her own words is how she would describe herself. She was a celebrated, but solitary poet who usually stayed in the comfort of her home where she stayed a nobody until after her death. Until very recently we have had only one portrait of this beloved artist, but now the Amherst College library believes that they may have found another one. Experts say it was taken around 1859 when Emily was about 29 years old. They are using computer scanners to compare the two photos, and if this portrait is authentic Dickinson scholars will be able to better understand who Emily Dickinson really was.
The Author was trying to inform the reader about Emily Dickinson and how solitary and untraceable she really was. The Author was trying to get the reader to understand how big of a discovery a portrait of Emily really was. The Author was really trying to get the reader to see how this one discovery could unlock a whole new side to Emily Dickinson.
