Read and analyze "When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer" by Walt Whitman. What Romantic ideas does it express, and how does the st

ructure of the poem reinforce the meaning?
When I heard the learn’d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

The romantic ideas that the speaker expresses are sentimentality and the need to get in touch with nature.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Romanticism was a literary movement that stimulated poets' sentimentality and the need to get in touch with nature.
  • We can see these two types of ideas in the poem presented above.

These ideas are shown in the last stanza, in the line in which the speaker claims that he became sad and tired, reaching the point of needing to wander alone in nature and watch the stars.

This can be seen in the lines:

<em>"How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick; </em>

<em>Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself, </em>

<em>mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, </em>

<em>Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars."</em>

Yuliya22 [10]

Question #1 Answer: T<span><span>o examine a question that has more than one side.
</span>You cannot ask your audience to take action because you haven't taken a firm stance on a subject. You can't take a firm stance on the subject without having evidence to defend your position. And you can't defend your position without first stating both sides of an argument. Thus, the answer is Choice B.</span><span>

</span>Question #2 Answer: <span><span>An argumentative essay does not use emotions.
An argumentative essay relies on Logos and Pathos; persuasion and logic, not ethos which is emotions. You would use Ethos and Pathos in a persuasive argument rather than an argumentative essay.

Question #3 Answer: </span><span>A statement that takes a clear stand on an issue.
A claim states your stance on a subject with conciseness. 

Question #4 Answer: </span><span>An argument uses logic to show your stand on an issue is the best choice. 
As I explained before, argumentative essay chiefly relies on Logos (logic). </span>

</span>Question #5 Answer: <span><span>Television watching should be limited because it has negative influences on teens.
The first choice uses the phrase, "I think." That is a big No-no. Also, it uses hasty generalization and states that everyone thinks that television is bad for teens. Choice 2 is incorrect. It does not state the authors stance on the subject, it only states </span>something someone else should accomplish. Choice 4 does not state a direct claim. It seems more like clickbait. It states that there are reasons why teen television viewing should be limited, however, it does not state the claim incisively. </span>
