A banana republic is a name for a Latin American nation (generally Central American or Carribean) that was under intense U.S. influence. The term originally comes from Nicaragua when the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita Bananas) had their banana plantation seized by the Nicaraguan government, outraged by this seizure of their massive plantation the United Fruit Company lobbied to United States government to act; the United States government agreed to act for the United Fruit Company and landed Marines in Nicaragua forcing the government to return the land to the United Fruit Company and pay reparation to both the United Fruit Company and United States government, In general, a banana republic was a nation under extreme U.S. influence that exported its natural resources, usually fruits, to the United States. As a result, most of these nations became dependent on the United States for economic support and several dictators came to power during this period (notably in the Dominican Republic) with U.S. backing. The period in which banana republics are said to have existed is generally the 1890's to the 1930's. Corporations, such as the United Fruit Company, also exercised heavy influence on the governments of Latin America and the U.S. government as well.

Answer:

In the excerpt Walt Whitman suggests that human beings continue to exist after death through the people they know because the remains of the dead are absorbed into the soil and continue to nourish life.

Explanation:

Walt Whitman's poem "Song of Myself" is a celebration of the self and how an individual becomes one with nature. The poet delves into the idea of discovering one's self, identification of one's self with that of others, and the relationship with the universe and nature.

In the given lines of poetry taken from the 6th part of the poem, the poet talks of what happens to life after one dies. He questions "What has become of the young and old men? / And what has become of the women and children?" And he responds, "All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, / And to die is different from what anyone supposed, and luckier."

This shows that Whitman believes human beings do not die or vanish completely. Rather, they continue to exist after death through the people they know, and that the remains of the dead are absorbed into the soil and continue to nourish life.
