Why does Whitman describe Americans from different social classes and professions in "Song of Myself"?

English
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]3 years ago
7 0
He described Americans from various social classes and professions in order to develop his ideas of democracy and equality.
His poem, Song of Myself, celebrates his own being, as well as other people's. He wanted to include as many social classes as possible so as to show how people are equal no matter which social class they belong to, or job they have - they are all people, and by extension, equal.

Figurative language Here the trees were not all the way down but twisted and snapped off halfway up from the ground so there top
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

Figurative or rhetoric language are the significant tools that help persuade the readers more conveniently. It employs devices that help elevate the words beyond their literal meaning and add essence, depth, and clarity to the written work that assists the readers to visualize the description.

A simile is demonstrated as one of the most common yet significant elements of figurative language that involves an interesting comparison between two distinct ideas or objects with the use of 'like' and 'as.'

In the given excerpt, the author employs 'simile' as it involves a comparison of two entirely distinct objects 'the trees tops were all down and rotted and gone leaving the snags poking into the sky' and the 'broken teeth' by using 'like.' This establishes an interesting comparison that would assist the readers to better understand the idea(by visualizing the given comparison).

what is the relationship between artist and the market? cite textual evidence to support your response. the text is called "Bank
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

To answer the question, one must define who the market is to the artist.

The fourth paragraph gives us a clue:

"...critics, dealers, gallery owners and museum curators whom they depend on for their livelihood."

Very clear isn't it?

So to the artist the market is made up of:

  1. Critics: an endorsement by a critic or a poisonous remark (if flipped) can give an artist the break they have been looking for;
  2. dealers: these category are more like brokers. Buying, selling and consulting on art works for a fee;
  3. owners of art works: These are direct 'consumers' for the artists products.
  4. museum curators: this category manage collections of works of art and artifacts in museums. They have sound knowledge of each art work and can also influence decisions during an auction by the museum.

Regardless of their dependence on the above categories of people, the text shows that the artist have a disdain for them.

A possible reason may be found in paragraph 5 :

<em>'In shredding “Girl With Balloon,” Banksy seems to be pointing to a central absurdity of his graffiti art being treated as fine art. When it appears on city streets, anyone can vandalize it; now that the same images are in galleries and auction houses, they must be handled with white gloves.'</em>

In simple terms, Banksy is saying that majority if not all artists don't have a complete say over how their work is valued. There is a system that decides this. And this lack of power or inability to insist on the true worth of their work is annoying.

Cheers!
