How does H.T Johnson use sarcasm in his poem " The Black Mans Burden"?

English
1 answer:
boyakko [2]3 years ago
7 0
Johnson uses sarcasm in this poem as he expresses the opposite of what he means. When he says "pile on the Black Man's Burden", and gives examples of how people can make black men more miserable than they already are ("his wail with laughter drown"), he is using sarcasm. He clearly does not want people to pile on this burden and make black men's lives harder, but he is saying that people should do it to show them how ridiculous it sounds and to point out that people are already doing that.

Which of the following is an example of a strategy you can use to ensure others understand what you are saying?
garik1379 [7]
The best answer would be, "C". The listeners could repeat what you're saying, but they might not understand what you are saying. Listening is not understanding. If you say each idea in three different ways, you could confuse the listeners. 

I hope this helped you!
