The speaker opens the poem with the declaration that we wear masks that hide our true feelings. He goes on to emphasize the severity of the pain and suffering that these masks try to cover up ;by the end we understand that all of the politeness and subdued emotions are just phony disguises of the painful truths that hide behind them. And those masks certainly anyt doing anyone any favors.

What is the significance of the march? Why did it mean so much to Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony? How about the rest of the character

arlik [135]

The march signifies the people's revolt against police violence against African Americans. It means a lot to Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony because they are African Americans.

Similarly, this matters to the other characters because they feel they might be the next victims.

Protests are effective in expressing a cause, as they present a group of people rejecting the same social element that causes negative situations for them. This popular pressure can institute changes, especially in democratic governments.

<h3>What is a democratic government?</h3>

It is a political system where the population has supreme power.
It is a political system where the government must comply with the will of the people.

Therefore, protests such as the one Quinn, Rashad, and Spoony participated, in must be capable of provoking social change, as they show how a part of the people, which has all political power, is being harmed by negligence, racism, and intolerance.

This question is about "All American Boys."
