Whitman uses such a simple phrase as “who I am or what I mean” because he wants to communicate directly with readers (B). That's why he uses the direct pronoun "I" and also communicates with readers using the "you" diction.

EXPLANATION  

The poem "Song of Myself" is written in the style of Whitman's free poems. In section 39, Whitman glorifies the words "as simple as grass". It is a standard stanza that supports a simple style, which would attract a lot of readers.

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,

But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,

And filter and fibre your blood.

The quote above is part 52 of this poem. This part states how the poet entered about nature which is part of him. The poet merges with the grass leaves, which are the closest part to the ground and most come in contact with other natural creatures. The poem ends by developing the Transcendentalist theme which also applies it to the poet's personal experience.

Answer:

He will be more sympathetic to those who are similar to the way he once was.

Explanation:

From the book, "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes, Charlie Gordon was once mentally ret*rded but he became more intelligent after he underwent surgery.

He has an experience in the diner one day after a mentally ret*rded boy mistakenly crashes some plates and receives cruel taunts from the other customers and the boy who does not know he is being taunted and insulted, smiles with them and this episode makes Charlie so angry that he shouts to the insensitive crowd that the boy is a human and thus deserves respect.
