Theme or Distractor?



"I'm Nobody"
by Emily Dickinson

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us--don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!


Which is the best way to describe the theme of this poem?

a. Being a frog is tough.

b. It's better to be yourself than to be popular.

c. Life isn't worth living if you aren't popular.

d. She uses a simile to compare a person to a frog.

Your job:

1-Choose the correct answer and explain why it's the correct answer.

2-Choose the "distractor" and explain why it's the distractor.
