The+Ship

LO, the unbounded sea, On its breast a ship starting, spreading all sails, carrying even her moonsails. The pennant is flying aloft as she speeds she speeds so stately-below emulous waves press forward, They surround the ship with shining curving motions and foam.

This story reminds me of the movie Titanic becuase of them pressing foward. Lots of the citzens that boarded onto the ship wanted a new life and this image just pops into my head. You can alsmot relate to the hull to the people that boarded the titantic to becuase the hull on the boat needs to be very strong in order to break through all the waves and even ice. These people were strong and determined to succeed in another place. These people were very stern and powerful people. Another thought that pops into my head is when you go boating I always end up looking at the hull crashing through the waves and the still water and just how sturdy it is like you can rely on it and you know that it will always be there, its something to fall back on to. This is what I think about this poem. ale **REMEMBER TO TYPE FOUR TILDES (~) AFTER EACH POST**1199845450

I really like this poem, because of how Walt Whitman is able to describe the waves in the seas. He says that the ship is surrounded by waves that shine curving motions and foams. That made me think that the ship may have been in a tough time, enduring through tough waves. This also really shows how determined and strong these people were. The conditions that they were facing seemed pretty tough, because it syas that they had all sails spreading, and carrying even her moonsails. And the image of the Titanic also pops into my head just as it did for ale. They must have also wanted to start a new life just like the people did in the Titanic. 1200322887
