Emily at A Young Age

Emily Dickinson was born December 10,1830 in the town of Amherst, Massachusetts. She was considered to be an intelligent and conscientious student. Emily would create poems or rhyming stories to entertain her fellow classmates. At home she would read, but many books were censored by her father. Many of the books and novels she enjoyed were considered "too inappropriate," and had to be sneaked into the house. Emily tried to be the "good little" girl everyone saw and percieved her as, but inside she had an independent mind and refusal came very easily to her.
