Week 9

Submitted by kcofrinsha on Sun, 03/29/2009 - 9:32pm.
I enjoy reading Leaves of Grass.  If I were outside on a warm day I would very much enjoy reading Walt Whitman. I would let the beauty of his words wash over me. However, I read Leaves of Grass in my dorm room.  While I still enjoyed it, I was left with many questions that I'm not convinced were answered in our classes last week.  I wonder how would I write a paper about this? How does Leaves of Grass tie into Darwin and our theme of evolution? We have another week to work with Whitman, so maybe things will become clear. However, I'll leave you with a last question.  If we are going to take Sontag's advice and not interpret Whitman, what are we going to do with him?
