January 20th‚ 2012 It’s Only Natural: Racial and Gender Equality in Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” In the opening line of Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself‚” it becomes immediately evident that his song is not about himself‚ but about the entire human race: “I celebrate myself‚ and sing myself‚ and what I assume you shall assume‚ / for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you”.

“Siren Song”. The change of tone‚ point of view‚ and diction between the two sends a different portrayal of the sirens. The tone and point of view play a big roe in both of these writings. In the Odyssey the tone is suspenseful. Odysseus tells the event from his point of view‚ so in first person. This gives the story more action because it is a closer encounter of his feelings. What he feels and experiences from the sirens is best perceived from the person who experiences it. In the “Siren Song” the

Milano 10/31/08 Music with a Message - Report Mrs. Wright “Youth of the Nation” by P.O.D. has a very strong message. The general message is about kids being bullied‚ and not fitting it. The song is about three people facing common problems in America. In the first stanza of the song‚ it is talking about a school shooting.
