Question
select the correct text in the passage.
which two lines in this excerpt from \song of myself\ by walt whitman reflect a realist view of death?
i bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass i love,
if you want me again look for me under your boot - soles.
you will hardly know who i am or what i mean,
but i shall be good health to you nevertheless,
and filter and fibre your blood.
To determine the lines reflecting a realist view of death, we analyze each:
- "I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love" shows death as a natural return to the earth, a realist (accepting death as part of nature) perspective.
- "If you want me again look for me under your boot - soles" also presents death as a natural, physical continuation (being part of the earth under boot - soles), fitting realist views of death as a natural process.
The other lines focus on the after - effect on others (health, blood filtering) rather than the nature of death itself.
