    66
     
    2) All individuals desire to fit into society but expectations are not always met, the persona prefers to autonomously rule herself.
     
    3) Dickinson is conveying that the persona desires individuality as she feels she belongs to the ever transient nature.

Poetry is her medium to convey her feelings about being an outcast; and how she resonates more with nature than with the people around her. One common theme is that a person's identity does not belong to them, but rather to external forces. For example:
    - Poem 83: A woman belongs to her husband
    - Poem 67: A person belongs to their cause]]>     2017-06-13 01:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/suzandab51/7g6e3qp6eotb/wish/176179660     Anna, Chloe, Sophia & Melissa https://padlet.com/suzandab51/7g6e3qp6eotb/wish/176179725 Even if one does not make a decision to accept into a society, they still have a desire to belong to something.
