In what way are the innovative art forms of today similiar to walt whitman ingenuity

Sounds like a very ambigous question and deserves an ambiguos answer. Art doesn't have to be inovative in my opinion it just has to make you think or show you a image of a earlier time. Actually it sounds like a stupid question to be inovative is to be more effecient or for something to function a better way. That's great if your talking about toasters but has no place in the art world unless your talking about water colors. Walt Whitman was a poet I guess you could considr him a literal artist but he's known as a poet.

Personifications: "Bright flowers were waving to me"

"The old cat groaned in protest"

"The wind screamed in anger"

Hyperboles: "Everybody knows Alexander"

"I'm so hungry I could eat a horse"

"The bag weighed a ton"

Explanation:

Personifications give human characteristics to non living objects, while hyperboles are exaggerations.
