Connections from Whitman

"The mother at home quietly placing the dishes on the supper-table" This part of the poem reminds me a lot of my childhood. For a mjority of the time when i was a little kid my mom was a stay at home mom. I would always look forward coming home from school to see my mom and whatever she did during the day. After playing for a while my mom would call me for dinner and there would be a warm dinner on the table. This is something i really enjoy about my family being able to sit down for dinner. My family still has sit down dinners as much as we can til this day.
