There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow men.

a plague that infected rats and was transmitted to humans by flea bites

GuDViN [60]

The most likely reason the author chose a free verse structure for "Song of Myself" is that:

Free verse allowed for the expression of expansive ideas.

Walt Whitman in his poem “Song of Myself” prohibits himself from singing the songs of war, rage, and journeys and instead sings the song of himself as the subject of his poem. The poem deals about his journey and experience in this world. There are two main characters in his poem, which are 'I' and 'you.' Whitman speaks about the grass which is the symbol of democracy. He says that the grass of democracy feeds itself on the bodies of the dead. In the poem Whitman used stanzas of varying length and the topic of his poem changed with change in stanzas.

Write a paragraph about your favorite food using the 5 senses and sensory detail.
dimulka [17.4K]

I love apple pie. The smell of cinnamon, apples and the dough combined is simply lovely. The way the lattices are interlaced and form this beautiful parrtern is very impressive. The sound of a knife cutting through the crumbly crust, the soft filling and the crust again is very pleasnt for me. Seeing the piece of pie getting closer to my face is a dream come true, the smell hits me and the feeling of recently made pie is undescibable. The complex taste that it has is breath taking.
