Question: Could some one give me some similarities on these two poems please!? emily dickinson / walt whitman!?
Could some one give me some similarities on these two poems please!?
emily dickinson - I'm nobody! Who are you!?

I'm nobody! Who are you!?
Are you nobody, too!?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know!.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

walt whitman - one's self i sing
ONE’S-SELF I sing—a simple, separate Person;
Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-masse!.

Of Physiology from top to toe I sing;
Not physiognomy alone, nor brain alone, is worthy for the muse—I say the Form complete is worthier far;
The Female equally with the male I sing!.

Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,
Cheerful—for freest action form’d, under the laws divine,
The Modern Man I sing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I love that first poem!
Here are my hints:
In your head, what does the woman look like who says the first poem!?
What does the man look like, how loud is his voice, what is his expression, who says the second poem!? (It's just a part of a longer poem)
How would they like each other if they met!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

similarities!? i see nonwWww@QuestionHome@Com

Both poems speak to the nature of individual identity and conformity!. Whitman discriminates between the two when he sings of self and utters en-masse!. Dickinson's tone is more rebellious as she compares conformists to frogs, croaking in a swamp!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
