Interpret the lines from Leaves of Grass. What do you think they mean?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Since you didn't specify the lines, I'll explain what the whole poem is about.

Explanation:

In Leaves of Grass we will find several poems by the poet Walt Whitman. Each of them mentions issues related to war, body, soul and loss among others.

Whitman wrote and modified this throughout his life, publishing the definitive edition in 1891.

In the first part we find a general aspect of what the work is about and there we find the title "One's-self" where Whitman not only talks about himself but also encourages the reader to find himself. Here we will find poems related to politics and society.

Then he continues narrating the poems chronologically starting with his childhood and his inspiration in poetry.

He will also describe himself in "Song of Myself" where he continues to narrate more of his life, as well as the wishes of each person.

Other topics that Whitman also touches on are sexual diversity and love between men, the understanding of the soul through the body, nature with each of its elements, the relationship between the past, the present and the future and the acceptance of death.

Why is the following an example of parallel structure:
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

Parallel structure in sentences is when the list of items is organized and written in the same way. For example, if a sentence was written “I like to play basketball, play soccer, and play volleyball”, this is in parallel structure because each item is of the form “play ______”.

Here, this is parallel structure because each item is by itself, without being preceded by a verb, except for the very first one, which is allowed because that verb “buy” will apply to every item following.

That’s why this is parallel structure.
