Whitman's Ideas on Childhood
In this poem, Whitman shows a lot about how he thinks children are formed into adults. All throughout their childhoods, kids are experiencing different things. Whether it is the nature around them, or the people they see, the children absorb it and it will always be a memory for them. All of those memories and experiences they have, help them to make decisions on how they think about certain things or their viewpoint on other things. They are also affected a lot by their parents in particular. How the parents talk, or treat others is shown to kids and they absorb and as well. Thinking, if they had good parents, to be respectful of people, etc. or, if they had bad parents, that they can treat other people badly. When the child grows up, everything that they saw had a lasting impression on them, and it will shape their character as an adult.
