Whitman uses visual, auditory, and tactile imagery in the poem's first stanza. When he says "The ship has weather'd every rack", he conveys the feeling of exhaustion. (The ship is, of course, an allegory of America, whereas the Captain stands for President Lincoln, who was just assassinated.) "The bells I hear" is an auditory expression, which supports the people's exaltation, but also resembles the sound of death bells which mourn the Captain's death. The vessel is "grim and daring", grim because the trip had been extremely hard, but the cause was daring. "The bleeding drops of red" is a striking image of the tragedy of Lincoln's death. The blood was shed, so it was not a natural death. The Captain is "cold", which is an example of tactile imagery.

As a whole, this stanza juxtaposes two kinds of mood: the exaltation about the Captain's glorious deeds, as well as pathos and tragedy because of his death. The imagery makes the poem all the more exciting, as it lets us see, hear, and feel the speaker's state of mind - which is a fusion of personal and collective feeling toward America's journey to freedom and Lincoln's pivotal role in it.

How do you find the roots of words
Greeley [361]
The process of identifying word roots has more to do with stripping away additional word elements than directly locating the root. 

For example, if you had the word "hardly" you'd strip away the suffix "ly" and have the root remaining, "hard".

Hope that helps!

How is a root word used to understand a text?
Nostrana [21]

A root word provides the foundation for a word's meaning, which is the fourth option. A root word is the basic word without adding any suffixes or prefixes. New words can be made from a root word, and their meanings are going to vary based on the prefixes or suffixes added to the noun. When a root word is found in a text, the context might take the reader to the origin of the word and make the reader better aware of the use and signification in a sentence or paragraph.
