But regardless of whether you live in the United States or not, there are still problems that have not yet been raised, and the US will share the same vision and dream. In this research paper, learners solve this problem through a keen view of Walt Whitman's eyes and the US utopia perspective.
Walt Whitman is often said to be a national poet of the United States, and it creates an image of America for himself. "He is often considered a defender of democracy and equality, but Whitman built a hierarchy subordinate to the United States and other countries in the world in his mind." Steven John Mike responded to his research A practical Whitman: rethinking American democracy shows that critics who tend to ignore it should pay attention to Whitman's nationalism once again: "Whitman seems embarrassed in America Celebration ...

Walt Whitman is considered one of America 's greatest poets. Like Emerson, Whitman used the theme of transcendentalism. Whitman praised individualism and saw an agreement between individuals in the universe and other creatures. Whitman focuses on "me", relationships with others, and "my own songs" as a whole. Whitman uses the symbols of grass, flags, handkerchiefs to show the relationship between nature and sanctity. Emily Dickinson wrote poetry of lyrics that allows the reader to embark on an inner mind journey. This personal journey ended surprisingly at one of her most famous poems "I can not stop death". Dickinson used images and symbols to draw encounters with the god of death. Finally, the theme of this poem is revealed and everyone dies. This is accomplished by a symbolic structure and text structure.
There are many differences between Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. The main difference lies in their theme. Emily Dickinson is comparing religious matters. Meanwhile, Walt Whitman uses "people and nature". In addition, Walt Whitman's poetry is usually very bright, his tone does not dim. Emily Dickinson talks about "death" and she explains all her doubts about people's lives.
