Today we continued our study of romanticism. Romanticism is characterized as being more involved with emotions, appreciates nature or natural beauty, and supports youthful innocence. We revisited the Walt Whitman poem, “When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer,” we started to analyze. Throughout the poem we were assigned to find how many characteristics of romanticism we have previously noted in our notes. We then moved on to work with our groups; we discussed what characteristics we were able to find within the poem. Groups shared their findings with appropriate reasoning and textual evidence. We closed class with viewing of a film, Dead Poets Society, and were assigned to find what characteristics of romanticism we could find.
