Response to "One's Self I Sing" (by Walt Whitman)
His poem basically explains how a perfect Utopia should look like under the laws of liberty and democracy. He had his entire complete collection of perfect society as where everybody is equal (regardless of gender, race, innate abilities, etc.). Whitman felt that even though he was one single person with unique ideas of the society, it is the society itself that has shaped him. In order to announce those ideas, Whitman concluded that he somehow had to tell his fellow peers to shape a democratic nation according to his ideal realism.
In addition, what Whitman clearly expressed was that "Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power", meaning that free people are justified to rightfully publicize their ideas as long as it does no harm to others (" under the laws divine"). At the end, Whitman shows the readers the clear imagination of differentiating past people, especially heroes, and modern men, where both of them are supposed to be equal.
