Walt Whitman was a graceful, yet outlaw poet that pushed the boundaries ink and paper. Whitman’s works were a journey of finding self through the natural world and his relation to the world, along with cleaver wording that…

women for doing the identical job as their male counterpart and receiving less pay. Women are subjected to believing their efforts are not valued as much as their male coworkers. We are paid less money to do the same job, receive no pay for maternity leave, and women minorities are offered even less than that of white women. In todays world it is no secret that women are still resilient in the work place. As women climb the ladder to reach the top of their profession, they are constantly…

the meaning of poems?” (Song 30-32). Aside from the obvious and repetitive intention of promoting inquiry Whitman also frames these questions the way that he does in order to advert attention to the brain, allocating this practice to occur, and to leave the reader with an impression of how “proud” he is, even in awe, of this function. A similar physical function that Whitman regards with interest is the seemingly endless possibilities of reproduction. This attribute is brought about as he speaks…

Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson are considered America’s greatest poets, and often remembered together because each revolutionized the genre, though they are starkly different. A Transcendentalist, Whitman felt joined to the world and writes in an expansive style that lists people and places to which he is united. Dickinson, whose views fit better with Dark Romantics, writes shorter poems with more conventional meter and rhyme schemes. As much as they differ in forms, they differ in their…

In this free verse poem, “A Song,” Walt Whitman is describing how great he believes America really is by using metaphors and by adding a touch of repetition, imagery, and personification to give the reader a warm and fuzzy feeling.
