You may read this book and totally disagree with me! I think "groupie" may be better for categorizing what Judy was to Jim at that long ago time in her youth.

My college students find most of the oddities in the lines and, with a bit more help, I think younger students could also: I ask my students to pick out words and phrases they wouldn’t be likely to hear in conversation or to read in an essay or newspaper article. By looking closely at these words and uses, one may be able to get closer to the mystery of poetry, of Whitman’s in any case, to be inspired by “Song of Myself” and to write like it and to understand it. These things, of course, are the words and the ways Whitman puts them together. There must be other things about them that make them so interesting and suggestive and exciting to read. ![]() Whitman’s lines don’t rhyme and they have no regular meter. ![]() I myself am what I am celebrating and everything that I am, you are also, since you and I are both made out of the same materials I’m really taking it easy, lying around and communing with my soul, while I look at a blade of grass.

The settlers built crude log houses and struggled for subsistence. The first settlers were welcomed by the natives. Much of the novel dwells on the development of the first actual settlement, Marietta, Ohio, on the banks of the Ohio River. It was his drive that was most responsible for three somewhat surprising conditions: freedom of religion, free universal education, and the prohibition of slavery. We are introduced to Massachusetts minister Manasseh Cutler and informed of his important role in the development of the Northwest Ordinance. ![]() In “The Pioneers: The Heroic Story of the Settlers Who Brought the American Ideal West,” McCullough describes the challenges brought about after Britain ceded the area that became the Northwest Territory.
