The other day I heard an intriguing story, one that I 've heard of vaguely before, yet paid little attention to. However, in recent times, I 've been hearing this same story more often, and ones similar to it, and because of this I had to do some investigating of my own.

Walt Whitman was young when he went to work. His education would have been minimal and his poems would be written of what he knows and feels. The poem, "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer" is distinctly American in that it describes the author's boredom with the classroom and finds it cumbersome and too detailed to enjoy the astronomer's teaching which in turn make him "sick and tired". In America, people can choose to do what they want to do. The author found the topic boring until he was able
