Marta is about to read a modernist poem and a classicist poem. She has been told that both poems explore the theme of patriotism. Based on what you have learned about Modernism and Classicism, what should Marta expect to find?

Patriotism in poems appears in forms that ennoble a country or nation. Patriotism can highlight a territory, a language, the culture, a biome or a leader. it can also salute the American flag or day, the national hymn or characteristics that recall national pride.

For example, in Walt Whitman's modernism poems known as "Leaves of Grass" Marta may find patriotism themed about America landscape and values as freedom, while in classicism poem she may expect to find themes about the American Revolution.

The classicist poem will rhyme, whereas the modernist poem will not.
