Whitman Blog

This poem shows us how society really effects how everyone, especially children act.  It shows us that as we see things going on we change to be more like everyone else.  It also shows us that everything that a child sees effects who they become as a person.  This is sad because the media doesnt always show things that are good impact.  When a child sees this it effects how they grow and who they become.

Anti-Transcendentalists

I like the anti-transcendentalists better because they have a more real look at the world.  They see all views of the world and it makes it more realistic.  I think if you don't look at both the positive and negative views of the world that you will have something wrong with you and won't have as clear of a perspective on the world.  This is why I like reading things from anti-transcendentalists better.
