Walt Whitman Free Verse Poetry

Objectives I can recognize a poem written in free verse. I can analyze the diction and structure of a free verse poem to interpret the tone. I can evaluate a Walt Whitman poem for his Romantic view of antebellum America.

Free Verse Free verse poetry is poetry that does not contain regular patterns of rhyme and meter. YET Whitman does still use POETIC DEVICES.

Poetic Devices: Cataloging Cataloging: frequent lists of people, things, and attributes Example: –“The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands…”

Poetic Device: Repetition Repetition: repeated words or phrases at the beginning of two or more lines Example: –“Beat! Beat! Drums! --- Blow! Bugles! Blow!”

Poetic Devices: Parallelism Parallelism: related ides phrased in a similar way Example: –“born here of parents born here of parents the same, and their parents the same”

Tone REVIEW: A writer’s attitude toward his or her subject. –Example: “I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good as belongs to you”  TRIUMPHANT “I too am not a bit tamed, I am untranslatable”  IMPERTINENT; BOLD

Theme Through these poetic devices and free verse structure he expresses his thematic ideas: –For example: Individuals should not be overlooked; instead, everyone’s contribution to America’s success must be celebrated.

Assignment Read “I Hear America Singing” & “Song of Myself” as a class Read “Beat! Beat! Drums!” in groups Complete worksheet in groups BE READY for a quiz over today’s material!

Walt Whitman’s America Walt Whitman believed that America’s beauty was aroused from individual citizens. How does the speaker in the “This I Believe” article complement Whitman’s ideology?
