Song of Myself Essay
Whitman sees the individual by expressing that he is showing that others may know what he knows. He also expresses other things around him and other surroundings and how they make him feel about it. The author wrote “I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.” I think this means to me that as much as he thinks he is the worst, God and other people will think that he is the best and not think of him as a bad human being. He also sees this as individual because he is saying “ I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise.” He is saying this because he is saying to the reader's (us) that it doesn’t matter how old you are, he is saying that he is wise enough to think of other things.
