Whitman all the way :D

I choice Whitman because he was controversial and was not afraid to push it to the limit. He wrote some romantic poems. Whitman's poem "Song of the Open Road" he is asking someone to run away with him. He wants that person to forget about what they are doing and just leave. He wanted to go on an adventure with that person. (Adventure Time:). He wanted to be out and explore and the country that just got out of the Civil War wanted a quiet, calm, and peaceful dream life. He did not want that, he was different he wanted something more in his life.

    That's cool how you explained that. I'm allfor Dickinson but Whitman was definitely cool in that aspect of looking for peace.

    I like the fact that he was looking for peace and that he was not afraid of change and letting people see the type of person he was. Even if that meant to show others that he was gay :0
