Walt Whitman, one of the most famous American poets of the 19th
century, is often associated with both transcendentalism and realism
in his poetic works.Transcendentalism was a philosophical and
literary movement that emphasized the inherent goodness of
individuals and the importance of intuition, nature, and spiritual
connection."Song Of Myself" is one of the most famous poems of
Whitman that reflects transcendentalism for many reasons.

First, one of the main features of transcendentalism is the

celebration of Individuality. Transcendentalists emphasized the
unique individuality and inherent goodness of each person. In "Song
of Myself, Whitman celebrates the self and expresses a deep sense of
individualism and self confidence. He embraces his own identity and
experiences, while also recognizing the significance of every
individual's existence.

Second, Transcendentalists believed in the spiritual connection

between individuals and nature. Whitman explores the theme of
nature in "Song of Mysell." He describes the beauty and vitality of the
natural world and portrays himself as a part of nature. For example "l
loaf and invite my soul, l lean and loaf at my ease observing a spear of
summer grass. He finds spiritual and transcendental meaning by
immersing himself in the natural environment.

Another feature is the rejection of conformity. Transcendentalists

rejected social conformity and the constraints imposed by society.
Whitman, in "Song of Myself," expresses his rejection for societal
norms and conventions. He encoureges others to break free from
societal expectations and to choose their path in live.
Finally, Emphasis on Intuition and Spirituality is important for
Transcendentalism. In "Song of Myself" Whitman explores the
spiritual dimensions of existence and the power of intuition. He
suggests that individuals can access profound truths and spiritual
experiences through their connection with the world,

In conclusion, Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" is a reflection of

Transcendentalism because it expresses many features of
transcendentalism such as the celebration of individuality, the
connection between individual and nature, the rejection of
conformity and the emphasis on Intuition and Spirituality.

for the sake of emphasis. For example, in the following lines “Don’t
tell! they’d advertise—you know” the poet exaggerates the idea of
being a nobody.

• The poet has personified bog in the last line of the poem, such as;
“To an admiring Bog." Here, the poet personified the bog as if it is an
admiring person.

make the meanings clear to the readers. Emily used this device in the
second line of the second stanza, when she writes “How public—like
a Frog.”she makes a comparison between the person who is famous
and compares him to frog.

Rhetorical Question:

receive an answer; it is just posed to make the point clear. For

element, the search for truth in nature, imagination, and the
exploration of the self.

by a raven. This bird usually symbolizes death. The narrator is letting
melancholy take over his mind. He asks the raven if there is a cure for
his agony and if there is life after death. The repetition of the word
“nevermore” will draw him further away from reality .
Subsequently, his obsession grows even stronger.

A pair of silk stocking* by kate
chopaine
A Pair of silk stockings. '' It is a short story that is written by Kate
Chopin. She is an American female writer . Her writings often had
feminist themes.The whole short story is an example of Realism and
naturalism because it gives a precise description of the place and the
people in it.
Realism
The first feature of realism in the story is the detailed
Portrayal. Chopin provides a detailed and realistic portrayal of the
protagonist, Mrs. Sommers, capturing her thoughts, emotions, and
struggles, making her a relatable character for readers.
Everyday Life is another sign of realism. The story focuses on the
everyday life of a middle-class woman, the challenges and desires
faced by individuals in similar circumstances during that era.
Realistic societal norms and expectations are depicted, reflecting the
limited opportunities and choices available to women, especially
those in lower economic strata
Naturalism
Determinism reflects naturalism in the story. The story suggests that
external factors, in this case, the unexpected possession of money,
influence Mrs. Sommers' decisions and actions. She is driven by her
circumstances, and the story reflects the naturalistic theme of how
external forces shape human behavior.
Also,
the environmental Influence is an example of naturalism. Mrs.
Sommers' environment and social circumstances play a crucial role
in her actions. Her choices, like buying silk stockings and dining at a
restaurant, are influenced by her surroundings and the people she
encounters.
Finally, the naturalistic themes of conflict and struggle are evident in
the story. The internal battle inside Mrs. Sommers between her
responsibilities as a mother and her longing for her personal
indulgence.
Overall, "A Pair of Silk Stockings" blends elements of realism by
depicting the everyday life of a common woman and naturalism by
showing how external factors and environments impact her choices
and actions. The story provides a glimpse into the struggles and
desires of an ordinary person, making it a realistic and naturalistic
piece of literature.
Robert Frost’s poem “stopping by woods and snowy evening”:
Short notes
The speaker in the poem is a rider who stops in the middle of the woods on a
cold, dark winter night. He seems attached by the calm serenity of the
landscape and even thinks about pausing there for some time before he
remembers that he has “promises to keep.” The poem, like most poems by
Frost, appears to be simple, but a close reading of its symbols reveals a deeper
meaning. The attraction of the woods can be integrated as a symbol of the
attraction of death that some people experience at some stage in their lives.
The promise becomes in the sense a symbol for life responsibilities.
