The life and times of Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman was a poet, journalist, essayist, and humanist altogether. He wrote some very depressing poems and some very happy poems, the sad poems are about when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and the poem he wrote about it was O Captain! My Captain! and the Captain is Abraham Lincoln. He lived around the Civil War time so he wrote many poems about war and how it will never change or like Beat! Beat! Drums! he wrote about how being on the battle field felt or sounded.

This is very fluent and the sentence structure is much better than when you do not type. Typing is something you need to continue to use daily, Brady.
ReplyDeleteYou use great examples, but I wish you would have connected them a bit more to what was going on in the country and his life at this time in America.
