Hi Maria, I think you have written a great blog here! I particularly like the way in which you gave some context into Whitman’s work regarding his admiration for Abraham Lincoln. This clearly pointed out to me why it is that Whitman saw Lincoln as a ‘captain’. I really like how you have drawn out certain quotes and bolden them to further to prove your point. I have to agree with you and say that I do really think that repetitive nature of the quote ‘O’Captain my Captain’ accentuates his admiration for him as president. I think perhaps to strengthen your response you could by place in literary techniques to back your quotes and further elaborate upon them. Besides from that, I think that your blog was clear and got to the point as to why you think Whitman feels so highly of Abraham Lincoln! Keep up the good work!
