From using by the author pronoun ‘I’ and providing an example from his own life we can learn that he is very personally involved in the situation. Also frequent use of gradation ‘bitterness, hatred, a desire for revenge’ ‘understanding, compassion and love’ ‘all of you, all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world’ plus metaphor…
The part of the narrator that identifies with Tad Allagash represents the futile search for “better” ––bigger thrills, flashier parties, hotter girls. He muses, “[T]here is always the likelihood that you are missing something, that where you aren’t is more fun than where you are. You are awed by this strict refusal to acknowledge any goal higher than the pursuit of pleasure. You want to be like that” (136). This hedonistic attitude…

In the book “To Kill a Mockingbird,” it states,"There are just some kind of men who—who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results," (Lee, 5.44). Miss Maudie's talking about Nathan Radley here, but also about his fellow foot-washing Baptists who think she's going to the underworld for making her garden pretty. Miss Maudie's no party girl, but she still strikes out at those who think that all pleasure is bad, except for the pleasure they obviously take in judging their neighbors as…
Whitman describes himself as “the mate and companion of people, all just as immortal and fathomless as myself, (They do not know how immortal, but I know.)” (Song of Myself) This passage has many meanings to different people and shows Whitman’s desire to influence all people, despite their possible lack of knowledge.
