Analysis and comments on I Am The People, The Mob by Carl Sandburg

Comment 3 of 3, added on April 12th, 2006 at 1:44 PM.

I believe that Carl Sandburg has a way of getting on a lower level and
feeling the people and their beliefs. He saw real people and showed them
for who they were.

I rather think he is referring more to events like mob uprisings, such as
the Haymarket Riots, or, considering the time frame, the Russian
revolution, where people took politics into their own hands, fought for
change, either won or lost, and then descended back into the faceless,
sheeplike mob.

From what I understand, I believe that it is portrayed that the earth is
the narrator and "spatter a few red drops for history to remember" could be
a volcano.
