Blog on "As I Watch'd the Ploughman Ploughing"

So, i guess i kind of understand how this poem relates to Christianity. It relates to this religion because Whitman relates farming and plowing to life and death. As we all know, living in Central Illinois, just because someone plows the crops, does not mean that they can never grow crops on that land again. Farmers will grow crops every year because the land does not go bad after one year of growing crops and harvesting. This relates to a guy i know named Jesus. Jesus woke up one day, and he was all like since humans are not being as good as they should be being, so he took it upon himself to die for all of humanity's sins. This relates to the poem because of the way that Whitman describes the harvest in his short poem. I really do not know how else this poem really relates to the idea of Self in which Whitman likes to represent inside of his works. I honestly do not know how this poem really reflects the idea of the everyman because of how short the poem is. I guess one go stretch as far to say that this poem reflects the idea of the everyman because of the way that every man tends to experience life and death, but i do not really like to use that comparison. In this poem, all that the author is really doing is just comparing life and death to farming and harvesting. I mean, that is really all this poem is trying to say. I honestly do not see any other examples of the idea of the everyman because the poem, once again, is so short. I guess that another idea of Self that Whitman uses within this poem is Nature by the way that he compares life and also death and the rebirth to things in nature such as farming and growing, and also harvesting crops. It seems to be that this is all i could find about the idea of Self.
