Walt Whitman's Poem, Song Of Myself

In Walt Whitman’s poem, Song of myself, from the book Leaves of grass written in 1855, Narrates the relationship between an individual to the universe and his or her place in the world by giving examples of how everyone’s body is associated or aids the nature around them to pass on to others after their passing to continue the cycle of life and death. For instance, Whitman states “For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you” (ll.3) From this statement Whitman indicates that every atom that fills the air is almost certainly passed down from someone/something else. This will assure the reader a thought question leaving them thinking about the endless living beings, they will benefit once they pass and are put to rest in an area full
The only thing important after their passing would be the blood that ran through their veins and the air that left their lungs. This poem might be giving the audience reading it, especially during the time period (industrialization) a sort of happiness and hope since at this point in time everyone began to question their purpose in life or didn’t think they had a purpose. To further support this statement Whitman finishes off his poem affirming “I stop somewhere waiting for you.”(ll.119) indicating everyone will soon meet again, even after they are no longer walking on the “handkerchief of god” they will come to peace under the grass that will continue to grow life from their bodies. After reading this the audience will have a totally different perspective to life and will now have a positive view, unlike the negative vibe they’ve been carrying around all their lives. In conclusion, Everyone has a purpose in life despite their society standards being ranged from valuable to dreadful, no one will ever pass on to the afterlife differently to anyone else despite their strengths or
