The First Question....

I found out that poet Plath came to me more familiar than other poets such as Dickinson and Atwood. Frankly speaking, I'm not a good writer and English doesn't come to me well. I looked at Dickinson's, Atwood's, and Plath's Biography and found out that all three women lived a writer's life achieving Poet related awards and more. All three writers were prestigious writers and Atwood was actually involved in feminist activities.
However, Atwood and Dickinson didn't experience many things that an average person in the world will experience. They did experience death of their family members and so on but that was it.
If we look at Plath's life she experienced various things that an average person (American) will experience. Her various experiences related to travel and love as an average person-rather than a poet-allowed me to become more fond with Plath than other writers. Plath was the poet who interacted with worldly affairs more than the other two poets. Such factor made me more familiar with Plath than Dickinson and Atwood.
In addition, Plath's poetry "The Surgeon at 2 A.M" was more interesting than poetries of Atwood and Dickinson. I was not sure of the reason but that was how it came to me.
