Read the passage from "Song of Myself."

You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,

You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,

You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.

By making himself the central allusion of the poem, the speaker is able to

accuse people of stealing ideas from him.

scold people for spending too much time reading.

congratulate people for recycling and reusing things.

encourage people to be more independent in their thinking.

    The correct answer is the third statement. In this passage from the poem "Song to Myself" written by Walt Whitman, the speaker is able to encourage people to be more independent in their thinking. The emphasis is on the living life through your own experience and not experience mediated by others, or their norms.
