1-IntroductionSince the birth of the new country, America has had to create everything from scratch. When America was discovered it was a wild territory in which culture, language and religion were not developed according to Europeans. At the beginning of the country's birth, America was divided into several colonies whose population was basically immigrants from Europe. Those immigrants who came to America were from England, Holland, France, Germany and the Scandinavian population. They brought with them the culture, language and traditions of their countries and then adapted to the new country and new lifestyle. This melting pot of cultures has made America one of the most influenced nations, and also one of the most independent. Most of the immigrants who made up the new American population were Puritans, and this caused some consequences in the development of the nation and in particular in literature. When America began to be a new nation it was under the rule of England, and they follow the rules and laws of the metropolis and of course the model of literature was England. At the beginning relations with England were good but then they became increasingly worse. The new American identity began to appear with a Puritan origin. Since the arrival of those Puritans in America, the new country was for them the new Promised Land, and they came with the idea of ​​starting a new life. One of the most important points for the origin of American literature is the sense of nature and religion, two concepts that always go together. The religion was transcendentalist, this means they discovered God beyond nature, and this wilderness they found are three...... middle of paper...... people, professions. The literary devices used by Whitman are the personification of the country. He talks about the American as if he were a person who sings, even though he is referring to American workers and the American people. As we mentioned before, Whitman is the king of free verse, and in this poem he uses free verse and the poem has no meter or rhyme with long sentences, and uses metaphors. In summary, in this poem Whitman talks about the people of America. This population is made up of workers who are developing industry and society, therefore they are improving the new nation. Although each person has a different occupation, they all together create the new nation as a group. Every job is important for everyone and for the development of their nation. They want to build a civilization based on success and harmony.
