In one stanza, Walt Whitman uses imagery within his poem to explain himself outside. The poem states," I lean and loaf at my ease observing a spear of summer grass." Because of the imagery, we are given a carefree and warm tone from the pom. One reason for this is because of his actions as he states that he is lean and loaf. He states this to tell us that he is free and as a result, has the ability to gaze at the summer grass. In addition, by telling us about the summer grass, we are giving this warm tone as we often associate summer with relaxation. To summarize, Walt Whitmans ability to use imagery gives us a tone of warm and relaxed.

Within the poem, the word "parent" is used multiple times. As the text states," Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same." Walt Whitman uses this line as a way of establishing/telling readers that we are all the same. By telling us we all come from a parent, it connects us to each other. We all have parents and our parents have had parents. This cycle continues on and on which eventually leads to us to the same person. To conclude, since everyone has had a parent and have once been related to another, we are all related in some kind of way.

Contrary to most other poems, the tone of this poem is very positive and happy. The poem is, as the title says, about accepting and appreciating yourself. The line, “I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard, ” is a prime example. The narrator describes that we all have the capability to be good or evil, which is something to be celebrated.

I believe the theme of this poem is simple: we are all both the same and different from each other, and every person should be celebrated. From the line, “For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” to the line, “Nature without check with original energy.” Though we all come from the same ancestors from the same planet, we all have our own original energy. The narrator is celebrating themself, while also celebrating everyone else.
