For me this poem was just neutral, and had a peaceful tone. It wasn't chaotic looking to me, and it was talking about how this person wanted equality. In this poem I feel like he wanted people to come together, make us equal, the line "For every atom belonging to me as good as belongs to you" sounds like it as well. The word "celebrate" made this poem sound happy, fun and relaxing. In this poem he added the line "I loaf and invite my soul" which he is completely relaxed in this poem, which makes this sound so much more relaxing.

The theme of the poem, "I celebrate myself, and sing myself is that everyone is equal and should appreciate life and yourself. This poem talks about how everyone is equal and is all connected. It also talks about that you are worthy of being celebrated or being proud of. For example, it says, "My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air," This shows that every part of your part is from this planet and that everyone is made from the same thing.

This poem uses many images, I can visualize a lot of things from this poem. I can visualize that he wants peace as he is relaxed & he would have nothing to worry about. The line "I loaf and invite my soul" I can just imagine a man sitting on a couch just feeling so relaxed like he doesn't have to worry about anything, and having no problems, and hoping that everyone is feeling this way.

The role of sound effects such as rhyme and rhythm are important because it adds personality to the poem itself. It makes reading the poem more smoothly and it expresses the main idea of the poem. For example, it says, "For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. " As you read it, it feels like it rolls off your tongue and says it calmly and it also makes you understand what the poem is about. Saying that an atom belonging in me also belongs to you too. Which all shows how it affect the tone and meaning. It makes the tone more calm and as a wise manner and also makes the meaning more elegant and meaningful.
