Read the quotation from "song of myself."

it is not far, it is within reach,
perhaps you have been on it since you were born and did not know,
perhaps it is everywhere on water and on land.
shoulder your duds dear son, and i will mine, and let us hasten forth,
wonderful cities and free nations we shall fetch as we go.
in this quotation, the first stanza has a different style from the second section.

what does this suggest about whitman’s overall style in the poem?

that whitman does not have a distinctive style as a poet
that whitman’s style allows for various kinds of language
that whitman is comfortable using traditional styles of poetry
that whitman’s style conforms to age-old rules of poetry

that Whitman’s style allows for various kinds of language

Whitman does have a distinct style with his long lines and free verse. He abandoned the more formal structures of rhyme and meter. This made his poetry very recognizable. Since he was not restricted by the more traditional poetic structures, he had more freedom for various kinds of language. The other options are simply not true. We don't see evidence of traditional styles or age-old rules of poetry in this quotation.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.
