A limited volume of her works appeared in1890, but it was Thomas H. Johnson39。s release of her plete body of poetry that made her works receive real acclaim. He published 1,775 of her poems in 1955 in a volume entitled The Poems of Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, MA in 1830. The Dickinson family was well known in the munity for their contribution to politics and education. Dickinson lived most of her life with her grandfather who was famous for having founded the Amherst Academy in1814 and later Amherst College in 1821. Emily Dickinson led a reclusive life, but her childhood was a happy one. She had the privilege of being educated at some of the most outstanding women schools in her time and devoted herself to reading all kinds of books. It was during her college years that Emily started writing. Some of her poems were published with the help of her female friends. However, the first serious attempt at having her poems published failed for her being rejected by The Atlantic magazine. This led the selfconscious poetess to believe that the public would never care for her works, and thus she never attempted to have any of her works published again. After the Civil War, Dickinson withdrew from society and had little contact outside of Amherst. Dickinson was very concerned with the subject of nature. Her writings are plex, and for many years scholars have searched for romantic inspiration, but have not yet understood her works. What is clear, however, is that her works can39。t just simply describe something in terms of a narrative style. Without doubt, Dickinson39。s works have greatly influenced and continue to influence modern poetry. In her time, her writing style was unique given that it included the use of dashes and capitalized nouns. None of her works rhymed, and she used unusual parisons when referring to events and situations. This unconventional method of writing has made her one of the most innovative poets of the 19th century.(1)Which of the following best explains acclaim underlined in the first paragraph?

He thought about what to write. He recalled that the petition deadline was merely a week away. But he still had not even started on his piece. He looked at the brochure again. WRITING COMPETITION! the title read. His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing petition, and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays. As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts, he realized how hopeless his task of winning was. Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories. He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing. Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story. The words shot towards him like a storm of leaves. Words were ing easily, flowing through him, faster than he could type. He typed faster than he ever had before. He continued to type, amazed at how easy writing this story was. The boy could not stop writing. He looked at the word count and saw the number 248 staring right back at him. He was not even halfway yet. Then he heard the call of his mother saying time for bed. He continued writing the piece, ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lo
