While the two differ in distance and directness of the 'you's, it seems as they they both are calling on the reader in similar ways, to connect and relate as fellow Americans. I agree that Whitman's resolution is more solid and explicit, while Rukeyser's is a bit more vague and contingent.. what do you think it is contingent on? Do you think she is asking the reader to specifically do something in order to come to a resolution that possibly hasn't happened yet in the poem? If so, how do you think that relates back to Whitman's feelings toward America and rebirth?Trace On My Facehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201302740599811534noreply@blogger.com
