The Diary of all the Diaries
Part 1
Upon first glance at Walt Whitman's journal I personally thought that it looked very tedious and in much thorough detail. Throughout the journal things are crossed out but not erased, which sort of gave me a seizure to continuously look at. Like ever heard of white out at least? There were many names and addresses of people in scribble-cursive that I thought may be possibly friends, colleagues, acquaintances. I also noticed that there was a theme among the notebook of respect and adore for Abraham Lincoln. He creates a make-believe conversation between him and Lincoln discussing their commonalities. He begins by talking about his first experience with Abraham Lincoln and leads that to the revolution of the union. Whitman raves about Abraham Lincoln and his groundbreaking work and revolutionary movements he made. I believe that his adoration for Lincoln may have established his optimistic, inclusive perspective on equality in the United States. Lincoln could have possibly been the backbone and overall initiator of Whitman's perspective.
Part 2
After thoroughly through Walt Whitman's notes, I was able to come to the conclusion that his journal was very much so a personal hobby and a place in which he could write down his thoughts and ideas on the world around him and his dreams. Whitman wrote about imaginary instances, as well as his personal opinion and thoughts on society's establishment. Whitman initially started off by writing very neatly and in concise thoughts and gradually became messier and less thoughtful as he went on. Walt Whitman incorporated a lot of his perspective on equality in his journal through pamphlets, make-believe stories, and notes.
