The white man killed my father

English
1 answer:
Temka [501]1 year ago
8 0

After reading and analyzing the poem, we can explain its central idea in the following manner:

The poem's central idea is about whites' sense of entitlement and lack of guilt when it comes to African Americans. Africans were taken off their land and brought to America only to be enslaved and killed. Then, they were told they were not equal, that they didn't deserve the same rights. However, the same whites doing that are the ones happily asking a black person for something, as if there is nothing to feel guilty or ashamed of.

<h3>What is a central idea?</h3>

The central idea of a poem is the message the author of the poem wishes to convey, the topic she/he is discussing in the poem. After reading a poem, we can ask ourselves what the poem was about, and the answer will be the central idea.

In this particular case, the central idea revolves around the unjust and violent treatment of African Americans by white people. The latter do not feel any guilt after killing and enslaving the former. They think it is their right to hire the former as their employees and boss them around.

Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd "If all the world and love were young,/And truth in every shepherd's tongue,/These pretty pleasure
Anika [276]

The correct answer is B, inadequate.


The nymph says that IF we didn't grow old, and IF shepherd's always told the truth, THEN "these pretty pleasures might me move."


However, the promises made by the shepherd are inadequate. They will not say young forever and shepherd's do not always tell the truth. She needs more than the promise of flowers and songs. His offers are not enough to make her decide to go live with him and be his love.


She is not insulted by his words, but she realizes what he offers is not enough. She regards the shepherd's offer of love as inadequate. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
