and WN due: MONDAY
Read Sections 6, 31, 32 of "Song of Myself" Annotate in general, as well as these specific points:
Romantics/Transcendentalists
–emotion over reason, individual over society, common people over aristocracy,
freedom over control, nature over human works.
¡How
does Whitman’s poem (sections 6, 31, 32) show this?
¡Why
does a child ask about the grass? How can childhood be connected to
Romanticism?
—What
could grass symbolize? (multiple things, quotes that show)
—What
is he saying about death?
—How
does Whitman’s work use parallel structure (repetition of grammatical
structure)?
—In
WN: What do you think are some stylistic (format, structure, conventions) and
ideological (beliefs, views, etc) differences and similarities between
Dickinson and Whitman? Please list as many as you can think of, if you want to
do a venn
diagram or a chart, that’s fine.
—All
of these (questions and writer’s notebook) due Monday.
