LOOK AT THE IMAGE ABOVE and READ then answer the questions:

(Btw the poem is called “O Captain! My Captain! - Walt Whitman)

Who is the “Captain” and why does the author refer to him as “Captain”?

What is the “ship” to which the author refers? Why does the author call it a “ship”?

Answer 1

I know the captain is Abraham Lincoln because he is the leader of the country at that time. I believe the ship is life because life is like a voyage and Abraham Lincoln had just died
