I couldn’t upload a picture since the storage is full so I hosted the image on another site.

1. “In vain the plutonic rocks send their old heat against my approach, In vain the mastodon retreats beneath its own powder’d bones, In vain objects stand leagues off and assume manifold shapes, In vain the ocean settling in hollows and the great monsters lying low, In vain the buzzard houses herself with the sky, In vain the snake slides through the creepers and logs, In vain the elk takes to the inner passes of the woods” – Whitman, 31

This quote talks about different natures and different animals interacting with their environment. I can feel exactly that by going to the Museum of Natural History. This place attracts many people of different cultures, interacting and admiring the history of mankind. Whether they are a citizen or a tourist, people love to visit this place.

2. “I hear the sound I love, the sound of the human voice, I hear all sounds running together, combined, fused or following, Sounds of the city and sounds out of the city, sounds of the day and night” – Whitman, 26

I chose Time Square for this quote since Time Square is one of the liveliest part of the city. When I go to Time Square, I can feel the city come alive. The combination of the smell, sights, and sounds lets me feel the whole of what New York City has to offer.

3. “I find my familiar woods, I climb the plateaus and scale the peaks, to cut deep dry creepers with my ax. I gather enough to make a load, I stroll singing through the marketplace” – Journey to West, 432

This is how I feel every time I go to Soho. The first part describe how I located my favorite stores then I would have to get through the crowd of people. After doing all this work, I can finally shop in the stores.
