This should lead the poet to avoid generalizations, and rather concentrate on particular events, or representation thereof, which would make the reader draw his own conclusion from, by factoring  in his own experience. This is what P. Kavanagh does, for instance, when he writes I heard the Duffys shouting Damn your soul/And old McCabe stripped to the waist […][6], he is not interested in the Duffys and McCabe in particular, but rather uses them as an embodiment of a greater crowd as a pars pro toto synecdoche. Instead of solely describing the outline of a situation, he goes to particular people, and creates a vivid image for the reader. Whitman achieves the same effect in I Hear… singling out each profession rather than representing the workforce as homogenous.
