In the story There Was a Child Went Forth by Whitman is talking about a childs journey through the day and how what he sees becomes a part of. So in terms of what does being American mean from this story being American would mean becoming embracing American culture and really becoming an American even if you were not born here.
Being American is not just being born here its more of a culture. If a person does embrace the culture then they should be considered American.
I've been thinking about the other stories like the story Young Gifted and Black by Hansberry and This Sacred Soil by Seattle and I 'm still thinking about those stories. I feel like what I have to say about them is on the tip of my tongue but I haven't gotten there yet. It's like the term American was coined so long ago when things were separated.......You know what I will definitely get back to you on the next blog.
