<u>Metaphors in “O Captain! My Captain!” by Whitman:</u>

The poem is an elegy  mourning the death of the  American President Abraham Lincoln.  Written by Walt Whitman in 1865, it is an extended metaphor honoring the 16th President of America and regretting his demise.

A metaphor is an implied Comparison.  The poem is an extended metaphor,  which means it is a comparison between two dissimilar things continuing in sentences and stanzas in the poem.

In the poem, the ship has been compared to the United States of America, having gone through the civil war and coming back  unvanquished,  victorious to receive a cheerful welcome by the masses.Though the war is won, the captain has lost his life.

The poet laments the loss of the captain of the ship who is ‘lying cold and dead‘ provoking sorrow and grief and leaving the poet sad. The captain here refers to the President who was the president during  the American Civil War and was assassinated while in office that is why the captain is lying dead  on the ship.

What is the ideal about gatsby's dream? what is corrupt?
mariarad [96]
Gatsby's dream is ideal because it is purely motivated by love and trying to get back the life that he once had and the love he once had. It is corrupt though, because of the way he went about it. He got rich through questionable means in order to buy the house across from Daisy, and still pursued her even though he knew she was married.

If you could change your name what would it be? Why would you change your name to this? Give your name a meaning and explain why
Roman55 [17]
I would change my name it would be Brooklyn. It’s somewhat of a cliché as to why it would be this name but, I’ve always wanted a name I could shorten to something and Brooklyn would allow that. Maybe Brook or Lynn? Aside from that I’ve also loved the idea of visiting or moving to Brooklyn, NY (a Brooklyn living in Brooklyn makes me happy)! The meaning of Brooklyn is water or stream and it’s simply important to me because it would mean I would have a name I can have pride in and that is me.


I hope this helps!!
