English
1 answer:
serg [7]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

''Flygirl'' is a novel by Sherri Smith and it is following a life journey of one young black woman called Ida Mae Jones. Her father was a pilot and her dream was to fly but she always taught that she does not have a chance for that. She got her chance when America entered World War II and she passed the pilot test of the WASP which was Women Airforce Service Pilots.

  • The biggest poverty in the book and in all beautiful events that happened to her since she passed the pilot test, got two friends and lived she dreamed that she was able to do that only by pretending that she is a white girl.

When her mother wanted to visit her she was pretending that she is a maid so the other people would not notice that she is actually a black-skinned girl.

  • In this novel, the main character is not experiencing absolute poverty, she is experiencing relative poverty. If she wasn't pretending that she is white-skinned she wouldn't be able to fly, met new friends there or be educated.

Answer:

Nature is a common Transcendentalist theme that is presented in "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman.

Explanation:

Nature is a common theme in many English pieces, but it is a deeper theme when it's looked at in a transcendental theme. Before we can talk about this transcendental theme I found in "Song of Myself", what are some other examples of transcendental themes? There are five elements of transcendentalism, which are nonconformity, self-reliance, free thought, confidence, and nature. In my opinion, I found it in my best nature to choose, well, nature, because everyone writes about nature, but in this case, it's a special theme because the nature theme is deeper than normal. It brings a different feeling than it normally does. I found this theme not only in "Song of Myself", but also in a few songs that people still listen to today. An example is "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles. The reason is that the song not only sings about the sun, but it also sings about the snow and ice clearing because the sun finally arriving. "Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting; Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear."

Not only that, but the way it's presented is in a transcendental manner. The theme of nature is also present in the poem "Song of Myself, written by Walt Whitman. One of quite a few examples includes, "I bequeathe myself to the dirt, to grow from the grass I love;". He also talks about animals such as birds and hawks. Even the seasons themselves are mentioned as nature, even though each season isn't mentioned one by one. Transcendental themes are themes that are deeply discussed, and the five elements from earlier can be discussed that way. Transcendentalism brings a different feeling than other themes tend to, and so, in conclusion, nature is not only a common theme in songs and common pieces but in transcendental pieces as well.

I hope this helps! Sorry it's a bit late.
