  1. Deep Thoughts“O’ Me, O’ Life”

  2. After reading Walt Whitman’s Poem “O’ Me, O’ Life,” respond in a Deep Thoughts response of 400 words or more in MLA format about how the poem spoke to you. Be sure to go into depth by giving examples by quoting the poem in order to support your perspective. Finally, explain in depth how the metaphor “That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse” by answering Mr. Keating’s question, “What will your verse be?”

  3. O ME! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; Of the endless trains of the faithless —of cities fill’d with the foolish; Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew’d; Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;    • Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined; The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?    • Answer. That you are here—that life exists, and identity; That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
