Based on this excerpt, what is the central idea of Maya Angelou's poem, "Still I Rise"?
You may write me down in history,
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt,
But, still, like dust, I'll rise.
You should always treat people fairly.
A determined person can overcome anything.
You should always be honest.

What is the central idea of this poem by Emily Dickinson?
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you--Nobody--too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise - you know!
How dreary - to be - Somebody!
How public - like a Frog -
To tell one's name - the livelong June -
To an admiring Bog!
Don't worry about what others think about you.
Friends are an important part of life.
Take the time to enjoy nature.
