a partner, analyze sections 6, 31 and 32 by thinking about and taking notes on
these topics/questions:
—*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 each of these?
¡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)?
*Homework:
In WN: What do
you think are some stylistic (format, structure, conventions) and ideological
(beliefs, views, etc) similarities and differences
between Dickinson (talked about
her yesterday) and Whitman?
Please list as many as you can think of, if you want to do a venn diagram or a
