He makes this a hopeful message by saying that death is actually “luckier” than life. Whitman continues the metaphor of seeing grass as the rebirth of the dead into the cyclical nature of life. The second part of section six focuses on grass as the “uncut hair of grass” Whitman imagines the deceased humans from which grass grows. Whtiman’s guesses range widely from “the flag of my disposition” to “the handkercheif of the Lord” to “a uniform hieroglyphic.” Interestingly, Whitman ties all of the guesses back to the human condition at least in some vague way. ![]() ![]() He makes several guesses as to what grass might be or represent. How Whitman chooses to answer the question is even more puzzling. Right away I find it intriguing that Whitman devotes an entire section of “Song of Myself” to answering the question of a child, especially a question that would normally be passed over by most adults. Whitman goes on to attempt to answer this question all though he makes it clear that he is unsure of the answer. ![]() Within this section Whitman tries to grasp “What is the grass?” spawning from a child’s question. From the title of “Leaves of Grass” it is obvious that grass has some significance to Whitman. The section of “Song of Myself” that stands out to me in particular is the sixth section where Whitman discusses grass. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dogs of God: Columbus, the Inquisition and the Defeat of The Berkeley: University of California Press.ġ90 J. “Translating Water.” Journal of Curriculum Theorizing 24: 11–19.

Many explanations of Darwin’s work mention Galapagos finches and the trend toward stronger beaks fewer clarify that the larger seeds a stronger beak can crack are all that’s left as the islands subside and droughts become more common. Jason Chin is the author and artist of the award-winning book Redwoods, which Kirkus Reviews called, An inventive eye-opening adventure. Set against changes in the islands’ climate and geology over many millennia, the adaptations of the islands’ animals take on new significance. He begins with the birth of the islands themselves, a process in which volcanic eruptions punch successive holes in the Earth’s surface as tectonic plates move over them.
