I have a question. I need 10 important dates on Walt Whitman if the teacher wants dates and some of the dates only have years. Does the years include dates ?
For example: 1823 Whitman's father moves family to Brooklyn
I can't find the date so should I just put the year?
I am sure that the year will be just fine.
what rubbish.
If you cannot find the specific date for an event related to Walt Whitman, it is acceptable to include only the year. However, it is recommended to include as much information as possible to provide a full understanding of the event. In your example, if you couldn't find the exact date when Whitman's father moved the family to Brooklyn in 1823, you can simply include the year:
1823 - Whitman's father moves family to Brooklyn
For the other important dates, try to find specific dates if possible. However, if you encounter other instances where only the year is available, you can use the same format as above. Providing the years will still give a clear timeline of significant events in Walt Whitman's life.
