Considering the first line of the poem <em>"I Hear America Singing"</em>: I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, and also taking in consideration the <em>entire poem's context</em>, it can be understood that the <em>speaker's view of the American identity is one of an identity composed by many voices singing many different songs</em>. That, of course, as a <em>metaphor</em> for <em>different people living different realities that contribute to forming a nation's identity</em>. The speaker <em>lists</em>, in the poem, various professions and activities being held by these people:
<em>"The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam, </em>
<em>The mason singing his as he makes ready for work (...)</em>
<em>The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat (...)"</em>
And so he continues. <em>"Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else"</em>, he says, conveying that this<em> identity would be composed by many different realities, points of view, and stories</em>, because every single one of these people <em>can only "sing" or express from their points of view</em>. Thus, the <em>American nation's identity is a mixture of various realities</em>, being each one of them important to be heard. Together, they create a whole based on variety.
