Question

Which point(s) of view do Whitman's and Coleridge's speakers use?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Both use first-person.

Explanation:

Walt Whitman's poem "I Hear America Singing" is a declaration of the speaker’s admiration for the workers in their respective works. The poem is a celebration of the unity of the people of America through their diverse professions.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Work Without Hope" is a celebration of nature and how it works. The speaker of the poem compares the natural world and the speaker's mental state.

In both the poems, the speakers use the first-person narrative voice. This is evident in the use of the first person "I" in the poems.

Whitman's speaker states "I hear America singing" while Coleridge's speaker says "I stroll".

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
