My
favorite poem out of the ones that I read from Leaves of Grass was I Dream'd in a Dream. I think that this poem is my favorite because it
talks about a perfect life. I think that it would be great to have a Utopian city like
the one mentioned in this poem. Whitman says in the poem that the city he
dreamed of was the city of friends. This leads me to believe that Walt Whitman
truly valued the friendships he had because friendships appeared in his dreams.
I agree with Walt Whitman in this case because it would be really nice to have
a city in which everyone loved one another. This would mean that everyone in
the society would get along. This poem is inspiring. It makes me wonder what it
would truly be like if there was such a city. Walt Whitman also says that there
is nothing greater than the power of love in the city of his dreams. Whitman
must have also valued love because he included that in the description of the
city of his dreams. I think that the city of my dreams would be somewhat
similar to the city of Walt Whitman’s dreams. In my city of dreams I would also
include the importance of friendships and family bonding time. I think that a
person is only successful in life if they live a happy life. This poem reminds
me of that story about the little boy in school. The teacher asked him what he
wanted to be when he grows up, and the little boy responded by saying he wants
to be happy. That makes my heart melt a little inside. The little boy is
thinking of the future of his dreams and all he wants is to be happy. I wish
that everyone could live the lives of their dreams and be happy. There has to
be an ideal city or town for everyone in the world, but unfortunately not everyone
will ever find the city of their dreams.
