Whitman

So I was extremely disappointed today when Travis said we wouldn’t have time in the rest of the semster to talk about Whitman  and his very intriguing poetry. I was all ready to talk about Whitman and not the papers. So many of our other discussions were so in-depth. I just felt as though we scraped the top of Whitman. I don’t feel as though we got the full benefit from reading Whitman’s poems. Many of the poems offered up much ambiguity that could offer us incite into the period in which Whitman was writing. Were these his fantasies, experiences or stories? Its a shame more couldn’t be done. But oh well, I guess this adds to the mystery of it all.
