The
idea of identity is the pivotal theme of the poem “Song of Myself.”
Walt Whitman explores the idea of self and his relationship with other
human beings, as well as nature and the universe. He is proud of himself
and of his nation’s people. According to him, a true American is fair
and believes in democracy. A true American is not prejudiced and is open
to knowing people from all walks of life and all kinds of experiences.
Whitman celebrates himself and America in his poem. He also expresses
his love for nature and the universe. A true American, according to
Whitman, believes that truth exists everywhere. Whitman is not afraid of
death and believes that life does not come to a stop even after death.
Instead, the soul goes back to nature, and the remains of the dead grow
in the form of vegetation.
If I understand what you are asking, I think people in life or death situations should not be held accountable. In most cases, the person in danger would want to live and cry out for help. The person in trouble didn't ask for someone to attack them.
The Cunninghams are a poor farming family in Maycomb. They are hard-working, but are not aware of many social cues, as they spend most of their time working on the farm. Walter Cunningham Sr. is a good man overall, but gets swept into the racism and hive-mindedness of the town.
The Ewells are also a poor family in the area, but do not have a good reputation in Maycomb. They live in a run-down part of town, their children only go to school the first day of the school year each year to sneak their way around the law, and their father is known around town for being a low-life. This proves to be true in the courtroom scene, when we find that Bob Ewell is also an abusive liar.
