[race13girl]

i read this poem for my english class last year. :] i love walt whitmans poetry.

[Jaggwire]

Very well done. I added to my playlist because this haunts me so.

[Stoompy312]

:\ Well this really depends on your interpretation of the poem. You can be stoic and monotonic throughout... if you're using this for a competition or for a public audience, make sure you're using some infliction.... or at least make sure you hold a very very very strong, steady serious voice throughout... otherwise they'll get bored easily.

¡oh capitan, mi capitan¡

[visabledark]

beautiful,i heard this in english,sinmply beautiful

[ThaCrystalDove]

Abrahim lincon stopped all the blacks from being slaves he was a religious christian and the bible had said all humans should be treated fairly he put his life on stake for the blacks for justice

this poem about him is amasing

[danemaricich13]

He didn't necessarily want to free the slaves. He in fact, didn't see the equality between black and white. He himself said "If I can save the Union without freeing the slaves, I would do it. If I can save the Union with freeing some slaves, I would do it. If I could save the Union by freeing all the slaves, I would do it" YOu see, he didn't care how he freed the union. He saw that slavery was wrong however

[1greatdude]

The three 'ifs' here are meant to be 1: What can I do to undo slavery while as much as possible preserving the Union? The gravity of the preponderance so great, the consequence so unthinkable, Abe was torn between the 2 options. But if there was a guiding light, he found it in the Declaration of Independence. But he must now put in context the meaning of those words: Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness,through and by which Government of, by & for the People shall not perish from this earth.

this is the best poem ive everd heard

[Johnnydafro]

I have finished reading "The Life of Abraham Lincoln" by Henry Ketcham, and this was the first real poem I was taught in school, and the only piece that brings forth true emotional response in physical form.

Your reading of it has truly done it justice.

[ivor1977]

i needed to cry and i sought out this wonderful piece of art! and it worked (as usual) thank you so much.

[ivor1977]
