1634

                In Emily Dickinson’s  poem Success is counted sweetest, she wrote about having to know success you must fail. She makes the point that the poem is about winning, and in the poem there is a battle scene. Her main point is that to know how sweet victory is you must know what it feels like to fail over and over again. Kind of like you don’t know how good water  is until you are thirsty. I think her point in this poem is to show that only a loser would think that winning is a wonderful thing, but a winner would only know how bitter-sweet it feels to win. People who don’t win put a high value on success, when people who win don’t put a high value on success.

                I agree with this poem and like it a lot. At first I didn’t understand it, but after figuring out the explanation of it, I agree that success is almost like a luxury to some people. Only the people who have failed but come back to win understand that it is precious but only to a certain extent. I like that this poem can connect to a lot of people and in some way give them hope that even though they might be failing there is still time for them to have their own moment for success.
