both excellent examples of this particular genre. This 7 page paper

literary critics. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Comparing Whitman to Whitman
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper comparing two of Walt Whitman's
works, discussing a carol appearing within one. There is no joy in either the eulogy to Lincoln or
in the sailor's urging his captain to rise from his blood-stained space. The Carol of Death offers a
glimmer of hope within "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd." "O Captain, My Captain"
is a lament for the fallen captain and for the sailor's loss. The Carol of Death, however, offers
hope in the midst of sorrow. The thrush does not demand that the sufferer forget the one he
mourns, but he does offer a positive view of death as a fitting culmination to a life well lived. No
additional sources.
