Jackson disagrees with civil disobedience, because he says that such disobedience is "not far removed from open crime." He says that civil disobedience is against the "American way of life."
Basically, he is saying that civil disobedience is a crime because it creates tensions that lead to violence. Instead, Jackson believed in the democratic process that would eventually lead to a better life for all.
Hello! You've done well so far by adding a simile (stanza 3, line 1) and repetition (stanza 1, beginning of lines 1 and 2). But I'd like to help add some personification to the poem with the first 2 lines since A. it rarely shows up and B. it's one of the most important factors towards a poem when creating something with such detail.
"The future winking at us wishing us good luck
as we wash away worries with ideas of us being stuck"
These two lines offer personification because we give the "future" a human attribute of winking and wishing luck towards a person. Also, Alliteration is included in both these lines which can be seen by the repetition of "w"'s makes it's way in the second half of the first line and the first half of the second line.
I want to add some repetition for the end since you started with repetition at the beginning since it'll bring your ideas together in a much neater way.
"My family still keeps it's traditional pride
My family will push on making one last stride."
You have the repetition in "my family" as you used above, and it explains the ending of the book with the family still being who are they, only they accomplished there goal by making one final action, which is making the move.
I hope these lines help and if you need any more help, feel free to ask!
