Connections from Whitman

To me, this poem talks about how when children see something, they adapt to it. Children will change what they like or what they do if other kids are doing the same thing. Adapting with these things will make the child apart of who they are in the future. Later in the poem it talks about how when a child is born their parents give them everything thing they have. They give birth and parent them because from that moment the child is apart of them. Everything the child is exposed to will form what kind of person they will grow up to be.
