Song of Myself Questions #1-3

1. Nothing really dies; no matter can be destroyed, so when something dies its atoms are just transformed into something like the grass. With everything that dies, something new is created. Section 52 is about how, after death, his atoms will be scattered throughout the world. He writes of how he will be everywhere, so it would be futile for someone to look for him because he’s all around them.

2. The Hawk. 

3. Grass is pure, fresh, and unprejudiced. Grass will not judge you, and symbolizes new life and how death isn’t really the end.
