Walt Whitman

   Walt Whitman is really all over the place in his writing. We discussed it in class and used the terminology "letting it rip" which is fitting for this style of writing. He has very broad topics in which he just lets his mind go and whatever is there at the end he goes with. He also establish a sense of patriotism and sharing with his readers a strong sense of optimism for the country, (which we could all use with the presidential elections coming up soon). But his position of being "one with the nation" gives me hope that we are going to have a positive future and whatever happens is for the best.
