Whitman’s I Sing the Body Electric

Was it doubted that those who corrupt their birth bodies conceal themselves Whitmans use of an interrogative tone here shows that he believes any corruption of the remains is to spinning top up a deeper issue. Eating disorders are about deeper issues, not actu on the wholey having much to do with solid food or weight those things are merely a distraction from the issues buried under disordered behaviors. other types of corruption during Whitmans time might hurl been premarital sex leading to pregnancy, sexual encounters with the same sex, and alcoholism. all told of these are ways to clear a voice without actually speaking.I believe that Whitman recognized using the tree trunk as an instrument of communication was a popular technique utilized by many, including himself. Whitman had a ache term affair with a man, and to some he thus corrupted his remains. As shown by the letter during a presentation in class, he concealed this relationship to anyone who inquired about his se xuality. The following lines speak conscionable as strongly as the first. In my treatment center we learned that without proper care of the body, all other split of ones being cease to exist entirely.Indeed if the body is not the soul, what is the soul? is a query I asked myself in many forms, many times. The body is the temple in which the soul, chakras, mind, intelligence, emotions, and lifeblood reside. No soul is available to the body. I believe that as a writer Whitman connected with his soul on a opposite level through his words. I have felt this connection myself when writing poetry regarding my eating disorder. Whitmans index to write allowed him to see his body as neither male nor female , thus allowing him to see what the body is truly capable of.The body is simply a vessel that moves, breathes, eats, and sleeps. However, in Whitmans words, the body is the soul it is something that usher out be corrupted or worshiped. All things divert the soul, but the contact an d odor of men and women please the soul well. The treatment ot a body as neither male nor temale is what is g tor the soul, according to Whitman. A body is not worthy of treating well because it has the anatomy of a male or the anatomy of a female if the body is the soul, as Whitman says, then the body is deserving of being treated well, period.The treatment of the ody is something that is holistic, not undecomposed a matter of treating the body with food or treating the soul with meditation. My recovery is not Just about eating the proper amount of fruits, vegetables, starches, proteins, and fats. It is also about doing what is good for my soul, and that is what Whitman means by that line. each corruption of the body, whether it malnourishment, sexual exploitation, or anything else capable of corrupting the vessel itself, must be cured holistically. Overall, Whitman makes a claim about the body that is indeed pertinent to the present.The body is electric in all that it contains. The body is more than Just skin and bone. In the words of Whitman, O I these are not the parts and poems of the body only, but of the soul, O I say now these are the soul He concludes with his thought that the body is the soul. I believe that I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment without acknowledging my soul, the recovery of my body would have never been possible to discontinue corrupting my body, thus discontinuing concealing myself. Recognizing my soul as intertwined with the body helped me have the most holistic recovery possible.
