Compare And Contrast Lincoln And Walt Whitman

Improved Essays
Abraham Lincoln is one of the most well known presidents. His most known feat was being president during the Civil War. Being as loved as he was he had many stories and poems written about him. I will be discussing two of these. The first is Lincoln: A Photobiography by Russel Freedman. This depicts a short time in Lincolns life directly Before his death. The second is a poem called O captain! My Captain! By Walt Whitman. This is a short poem about his death. I think that both these stories are unique in their own right.

Both these stories are about his tragic death. They also both speak of his great achievement in the freeing of the slaves. They talk about the last few moments of his life. Both of these stories have the same purpose, to

    Frederick Douglass differs from H. D. Thoreau in the sense that he doesn’t believe that all government is oppressive and manipulative. When it came to the issue of slavery, an injustice recognized by most, Douglass felt true in his convictions to do whatever possible to end such an inequality. He may have changed his opinion on the Constitution around 1851 once the issue of slavery became more of a prejudice than an oppressive institution centered around injustice towards people’s senses of equality and freedom. He clearly understood there to be a time for rebellion to the current system in place if everything isn’t reflective of the principles set out in the Declaration of Independence and the preamble of the Constitution. “It shall not avail that the Constitution and…

    In A Song of Myself, Whitman writes that “there is really no death, And if ever there was it led forward life ,” which conveys his opinion that death shouldn’t be regarded negatively as it is essential to allow new life. Perhaps Whitman’s use of free verse helps to convey his positive and fearless attitude towards death as it allows his poem flow freely without being constricted by regular meter, which could translate to the idea that life is isn’t constricted by eternal death. The use of free verse therefore, gives Whitman’s poem the characteristic of being organic and ongoing which corresponds to the idea that death is similarly part of the ongoing process of life. It is important to question Whitman’s positive views on death considering his numerous encounters with people dying throughout his life such as family members and soldiers her tended as a nurse in the American Civil War between 1861 and 1865. William J. Scheick describes how Whitman’s poetry “ not only reflects his century 's awareness of death and his own negotiation of apprehensions relating to mortality, they also reveal the poet 's deliberate effort to revise his culture 's attitude toward dying .”…
