Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of America’s unusual literary
figures. An individualist, he rambled through the country seeing people and places, and making
them his own. His experiences in earning a living were varied: at times he was a printer, a
teacher, a carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper editor. He was a big-hearted man, open and
accepting. He spent a lot of his time caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Though he
lived in the city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which
carried through his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in
one thin volume, “Leaves of Grass”, a book which he revised and was generally ignored by other
poets, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to
achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didn’t grow until
after his death, and it reached a high point in the 1920s. Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly
influenced modern poets.

C. rewriting “Leaves of Grass” D. caring for the wounded

A. accepted him B. praised him
C. laughed at him D. communicated with him
