To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks A various language; for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings, with a mild And healing sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere he is aware. Which period of American literature does this poem best exemplify

This poem is an example of the romantic period of American literature.

Explanation:

The poem shown in the question above is called "Thanatopsis" and was written by William Bryant. This poem of how American literature presented itself in the period known as the Romantic Period.

Poetry during this romantic period had a humanitarian, sentimental character and evidenced nature as something alive and offering an escapism for the speaker to express his feelings, fears and emotions, without being rational. "Thanatopsis" has these characteristics, especially when it shows the speaker's admiration for nature, to the point of joining it to form a single organism.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.
