Whitman's Poem 'A Song Of Myself # 10'
American Lit.
Whitman’s Style In the poem “A song of myself #10”, he tells the audience that he sees things that most people don’t see every day, and isn’t afraid to say what he thinks about some things. Like when he takes in the runaway slave, he is not afraid of the slave, and is willing to protect him from any potential danger. In Whitman’s poems, he talks to us about things that happen daily, but no one really notices the beauty or meaning of the actions. In the poem “Song of myself #52”, he compares himself to nature, and how much people have changed and separated themselves from the “real things in life”. He talks to the spotted hawk as if he is acquainted with him, and he lies in the grass as if he is a part of it, and is sinking
