Based on your analysis of emily dickinson and her poem “there is no frigate like a book,” what group of people might she feel most comfortable with? a. the poor b. children c. transcendentatista d. literary critics

In this poem, Dickinson celebrates reading's ability to take the reader to different unimaginable places, regardless of their wealth or background. While the poor are mentioned in this poem, they are present to indicate the frugal nature of reading and how accessible it is. However, if we were to infer on whom would Ms. Dickinson prefer to spend her time with, based on this poem, we could say that she would rather spend her days with Transcendentalists.

Taking into consideration that transcendentalism was a movement that celebrated the perceived reality as the most important one over scientific observation and factual information. While she enjoyed literature, we infer that she wouldn't enjoy the company of literary critics as much due to their focus on literary norms and conventions, which she didn't care for. On the other hand, transcendentalists were all about personal interpretation of literary experiences.
