What does grass likely symbolize in these lines from the poem? A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands

; How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he. I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven. (from "A child said, What is the grass" by Walt Whitman)

<span>I think this poem illustrates that process of meaning making as an individual action of inquiry that is also open to the reader. The poem begins so directly with that question coming from the child. Whitman tells us, I don’t know what it is any more than he does, but then proceeds to spend the rest of the poem telling us what it is. So having announced his position of ignorance, he is now open to the generation of possibilities. And that ‘I guess,' ‘I guess,' ‘or,' ‘or,' provides a wonderful way of allowing one figure to be posited and another one to enter without canceling out the preceding one, allowing more layers and more possibilities, something that Elizabeth Bishop does interestingly too.</span>

Answer:

The stopped in the Valley of Ashes on their way to the city to meet Tom's girl, his mistress Myrtle Wilson.

Nick felt he had been ambushed or forced to meet her even though he had expressed no desire to be acquainted with her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his desire to reunite with his former girl friend Daisy Buchanan. The story deals with themes of wealth, social life, a lost American Dream, love, life, etc.

The narrator Nick Carraway mentioned how he met Tom Buchanan's mistress in Chapter 2. Tom has been married to Daisy for several years now and his mistress Myrtle is also married to George Wilson. When Tom took Nick to meet Myrtle, it was more of a forced invitation rather than a request. Nick recalls how Tom was <em>"taking hold of [his] elbow literally forced [him] from the car."</em> Nick seems angry about the whole thing, <em>"The supercilious assumption was that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em>

So, Tom and Nick stopped to meet Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress. Nick feels that it was more of a forced meet rather than a request to make him acquainted with her.
