<h3>What is the poem about?</h3>
Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing" is a poem that praises the American working class. Whitman mentions several types of workers - <u>carpenters, mechanics, seamstresses</u>, etc. - as a way to indicate that it is the working class that makes America the promisingcountry it is.
Whitman is basically complimenting the working class throughout the poem, conveying the idea that their hard work and dignity are fundamental for the country.
Although the poem says those workers sing, it does not mean it in a literal way. The singing in the poem is a symbol of the worker's joy and determination. Therefore, <u>the poem is not about music itself.</u>
With the information above in mind, we can say that the only option to be classified with a "no" is number 2.
Are there options? because there are several literary devices used in the poem such as alliteration, personification,metaphors, simile. Hope i could help
