Poem Response

To me, Emily Dickenson's poem means that if you want to have an opinion about something, you should seek the truth before you decide what your opinion is. For example, if their was a new flavor of ice cream, it would be better for me to try it before I decide if I like it or not. I think this should be applied to our society by everyone looking at the truth of something before they make an opinion or judgement about it. To respond to this poem, I can make up a saying : the fact of something is more important than your opinion of it. This means that the facts about something mean more than what you think of it. For example, if I was selling cookies and someone wanted to know what kind they were, I should tell them "they are the chocolate chip kind" instead of "I think they are the good kind." Even if the cookies do taste good, I should give them facts instead of my opinion. However, if someone asks your opinion, it is okay to give it to them. Thanks for reading my response post Emily Dickenson's poem.
