READING
PASSAGE 1:

Walt Whitman, born in New York, in 1891, was one of America’s unusual
literary figures. As an individualist, he rambled through the countryside seeing
people and places, and making them his own. His experiences in earning a living
were varied; at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper

ng

editor. He was a big-hearted man, open and accepting. He gave freely of his time by

co

caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Though he lived in the city, he often
spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried

an

through to his poems. In 1855 he collected the verses he had written, and published
them in one thin volume, “Leaves of Grass”, a book which he revised and rewrote all

th

the rest of his life. The book was ridiculed by some poets and generally ignored by

g

others, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was

du
on

necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His
reputation didn’t grow until after his death, and it reached a high point in the 1920s.
Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly influenced modern poets.
