As I was reading the poems, O captain my captain really hit me. I love american history, and I was really into it in high school. But reading this poem brought back memories of losing my dad. Walt Whitman really expressed his deep sorrow of losing his president, and losing a my dad made me lose a large part of me. I know its not related to the poem of losing the president, but losing someone so important to you that made your whole world turn; all of a sudden your world just crashes down before you. The immense feelings that are shown through this poem really and truly show how important it was to Whitman that people understood how much it affected people. And losing someone of such importance really can take a deep toll into someones heart. This poem gets an A+ in my blog.
