REREAD AND DISCUSS Reread lines 1-10. With a small group, discuss

the use of parallelism in lines 5 and 8. What do these parallel elements

suggest about the relationship between the spider and the speaker?

The above question is related to "A Noiseless Patient Spider"

The parallelism shows that the speaker is as lost as the spider.

Explanation:

The poem "A Noiseless Patient Spider" by Walt Whitman, shows that the speaker is watching a spider weave its web at random. The spider is always weaving, looking for a place, a stability. This gives the speaker a feeling that the spider is lost, which establishes a parallel with himself, because he feels as lost as the spider. That's because his soul is always wandering, looking for a place, a stability, weaving webs, like the spider.
