1) People saw Whitman as a spiritual man due to the fact that he saw everyone equally. Not only did he put everyone in the same ranks, but he even acepted people such as prostitues and just like Jesus he took them in and accepted them. Although he is bisexual, he is still religious and mentions it in his writings. He includes many religious terms and refermces in his writing as well. 2. The first similarity between both Whitman and Ginsberg that stands out to me, os that they are both bysexual. They both make rederences to men or others of the same sex and their fantacies or thoughts of them. They both also create tough poems to break down and take apart.

2)The two poets have in common that they both portray their own view of America.

They show some homoeroticism, they both show some affiliation for men.
1. Whitman speaks for others through his poetry on a level that most writers were not willing to get involved with.

In today's society, it is still difficult to reveal one's sexuality. Whitman believed in equality in all men and women as well as their occupations.
2. Whitman and Ginsberg are similar due to their sexuality and their writing. Ginsberg mentions Whitman in a number of his poems to represent his admiration towards him. Ginsberg also shadows Whitman indirectly by expressing his sexuality through his writing pieces.

Yazmin R. Whitman can be considered a spiritual poet because of how he expresses religion and life. He explains how the grass is a big part of us because we depend on the grass. To explain, we eat from plants that grow from the grass and once we die we become the grass and therefore we are all connected, it reminds me of the circle of life.
The main similarity of Whitman and Ginsberg is the way they write their poems. The are not stories, but still give you plenty of information for you to come up with a story. Also, Ginsberg and Whitman and bisexual and are one of the few men that actually admitted it in their poems.For them to be able to talk about their sexuality when it was considered improper and out of the ordinary is what makes people look up to them. Therefore, i consider them as great authors that took a huge step in poetry.

1. Whitman is consider a spiritual poet by the way he expresses his thoughts. Throughout the poem Whitman talks about religion(miracles and believes). Also he mentions nature, joy of life (or joy of himself)and the inspiration of breathing. He tries to find a solution to every thought and eventhough he may have conflicts because of his nature, he writes in a relax way. 2. The poets Whitman and Ginsberg have extremely deep poems, all their thoughts are under the verse, therefore one have to read carefully to find the true meaning(what they are trying to communicate of themselves). Their sexuality affected the way these poets write, thats why they are so exotic.

1.Whitman might be considered a spiritual poet because he includes spiritual beliefs and concepts in his peom.

2. Apart from the fact that Whitman and Ginsberg are bisexual, both have similar method and style in writing their poems. They both use imagery and metaphors to describe themselves and the world around them.
Walt Whitman and Allen Ginsberg shared some similarities in their writings.

Whitman is seen at the grand spiritual poet since his ideas really speak to the souls of readers. Whitman alludes to how we are all one when he says he is all and all is him. since he is great, all are great. He also talks about the grass and how it does not discriminate between different people of different races, etc., the grass grows for everybody.
