Her brother and father, except one brother, Austin. Emily was afraid of her own father, but she did everything for him even though her father didn't like her that much because of her intelligence. 

"As much as she was frightened of her father, he must have been a little wary of her smoking intelligence and wit." (pg 20)

She was pan-sexual, meaning, she loved anyone. It doesn't matter what gender they are, she loved people for their minds. Her first "love" Susan Gilbert was taken from her by her own brother. 

"She was drawn to women and men with powerful minds.." (pg 22) 
"She was in love with Susan Gilbert, however we may define that love"(22)

Any other sexuality besides heterosexual, is not accepted by everyone. And in Emily's time, it was horrible for someone to like the same gender. I don't think Emily being pan made an impact, but maybe it'll show some people that their favorite poet is pan.

But 125 years ago, people started writing commentary and writing articles about her. Samuel G. Ward, a bank-writer, loved her poems.

She wrote poems about her family and gave her poems to her friends. Many people realized that she is more mature than she thinks. Most of her poems she wrote had riddles and deep meanings to them. Some can't figure out how she wrote some of her poems. ]]> 2019-01-02 19:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/317107804 nguyeivy000 https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/317720590 In most of Dickinson's poems, she talks about her feelings and describes them through nature. Many people have been fascinated by her poems. Many say she got a "virus" that Shakespeare had. They wrote amazing pieces and everyone would compare those two. 
"that language find certain people people and lives through them, almost the way a virusby finding a host, I think language lives by finding hosts. . . . It found a way to live in Shakespeare.

She grew up with a anthropomorphic mother, which apparently identified as a man. Even though her family wasn't the best to her, they were the reason why she wrote all her amazing poems. Especially her mother. If if wasn't for her mother, Dickinson wouldn't have wrote poems.  
In a letter Emily Dickinson wrote, she said "I always ran Home to Awe when a child, of anything befell me. He as an awful Mother, but I liked him better than none."

For a while, she'd always hate being around Austin and his family. Though, she was close to Vinnie, one of Austin's daughter. Dickinson would walk around the house and look angry. ]]> 2019-01-07 03:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/317730788 nguyeivy000 https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/317731769 Emily was sent to her Aunts place and stayed there for while.

She married her 1st cousin so she could keep her last name. She lost one of her children and isolate herself from family. She eventually died from Norcross disease. 
Emily wrote this poem about her. 
"'Mama' never forgets her birds-
Though in another tree.
She looks down just as often
And just as tenderly, 
As her little mortal nest
With cunning care she wove-
If either of her 'sparrows fall,'
She notices 'above'" (pg 58) ]]> 2019-01-07 15:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/317898792 nguyeivy000 https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/317909987 Emily Dickinson was scared of her own father. And yet, she still cared for him. When she continued to write poems, she expressed her sadness and fear in her poems when she is writing about her own father.
"Two things I have lost with Childhood- the rapture of losing my shoe in the Mud and going Home barefoot, wading for Cardinal flowers and the mother reproof which was [for] more for my sake than her weary own for she frowned with a smile..."

Emily's father would be the general and would send everyone away to a certain point in the house and make them stay there. Emily wanted none of this and did things on her own, but angered her father. Since men lead the household, this was bad for Emily to do. She still lived in the same house as her father. ]]> 2019-01-07 15:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/317917741 nguyeivy000 https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/320112785 Throughout Emily's life, Susan Gilbert was the only person she fell in love with. But her family member are truly evil. Her brother Austin Dickinson married Susan and one of her friends, Kate Anthon (She was also a poet) kissed Susan on the cheek. Kate ended up falling in love Emily. Austin and Sue started liking Kate. (Emily's life is messed up, especially the love life she doesn't have)
". . . Austin and Sue at the time, fell in lobe with 'Mrs. Kate' ...But Kate wasn't really interested in Mr. Sam. A certain frekled-face poet appealed to her much more.."

It was not mentioned in the book) was two amazing dancers. He was mentioned in the book because when they both danced, it reminded the writer of Emily with her writing. Inventive and controlled.
"... I felt that she had an instinctive poetry in these limbs. . . and I thought of Emily Dickinson, of her physic split, that perverse ability to be elsewhere within her poems."

She's had many people take interest in her though. Madelyn Krims and her husband, Harold, was attracted to her. The both of them did some,, sexual things with her. Some of her poems are pretty sexual. Example:
"Wild nights! Wild nights! 
Were I with thee,  
Wild nights should be  
Our luxury! 
Futile the winds         
To a heart in port,—  
Done with the compass,  
Done with the chart.   
Rowing in Eden!  
Ah! the sea!         
Might I but moor  
To-night in thee!" (Wild Nights! Wild Nights pg 136)

The poet, Andienne Rich was brought up because of her similar their writing is. 
"...She was lashing at herself and other with her own language, writing about volcanoes, deserts rape, as Adrienne Rich reminds us in 'Vesuvius at Home', about madness, suicide, murder, angels, wild beast, the end of the world, and the tender violence of love and hate."  (pg 144) ]]> 2019-01-21 21:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/322792695 nguyeivy000 https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/322794836 This is a video of Andrienne Rich reading her own poem.

"The defiant one, such as Marta Werner match fire with fire, as if some of their own sparks will bring us a little closer to Dickinson-language..."

She hid this because she was pan-sexual and this was NOT accepted in her era. That didn't stop people from feeling suspicious about her. Women who don't marry were looked upon. It was a title and Dickinson didn't care for it. She was looked down upon and was accused of being a witch. Crazy huh? Not Dickinson, but the people who thought she was some witch for not marrying is crazy. :P ]]> 2019-01-22 19:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/323192905 nguyeivy000 https://padlet.com/nguyeivy000/6n2iew5zacbd/wish/323198645 At the end of her life, she was gained the title of a poet.
