Walt Whitman’s, “Song of Myself”, was a great piece of writing that in my opinion is everywhere and yet, still all at the same time. Describing everything and seems messy but so well understood too. “I breathe the fragrance myself and I know I like it” I like how he begins by talking in first person about himself and what’s to love and not love about himself. It’s a sort of stubborn writing, kind of like the strong spoken Jane Eyre. He then draws his views towards the audients by asking rhetorical questions such as, “Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?”. This quote is similar to when Jane is asking “Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless?”. It’s towards the audients and to engage them more to think and react. She questions herself but knows the truth about who she really is and does this “thinking out loud” scene which I admire the most about her. And AGAIN Walt shifts us to telling the audients how to think in a demanding tone, “You shall no longer take things at second or third hand…. nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books”. This quote is perfect to be told to Jane because this is what should’ve been her advice all throughout her life. Unfortunately, she has to tell herself this towards the end of the book. Whitman’s quote , “I am a free human being with an independent will… You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless.” What Walt Whitman means is that you will truly never know who a person really is because everyone is unique. He also wants to state that even if you are unique you are still “you, and that is truer than true, there’s no one on earth who is youer than you” from the wise words of Dr.Suess of course. You should always be yourself because we are from the same “dirt” Earth, born the same way, feel the same way, then why should I have to feel less than or different than anyone else. We are the same humans, just different beings.
