#1: In Walt Whitman's "From Song of Myself," what parts of the poem show romantic thinking? Cite examples from the poem to support your response.

#2: Reread this quotation from near the end of “Walden Pond”:
Many a forenoon have I stolen away, preferring to spend thus the most valued part of the day; for I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days, and spent them lavishly; nor do I regret that I did not waste more of them in the workshop or the teacher’s desk.
Explain this quotation. Be sure to address the “wealth” Thoreau claims, his use of that wealth, and his views of the workshop or school.

Thank you for helping me!
