How does McKay develop the theme of "America"? What is his conclusion of the sonnet?

English
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]3 years ago
7 0

McKay develops the theme of "America" by showing how the narrator's relationship with his country is personal rather than abstract. McKay creates tension by showing how even though America feeds, or nourishes the narrator, it is with "bread of bitterness." The narrator admits that even though America steals his "breath of life," he still loves it. This contradiction is inherent to the theme: that what harms the narrator about his relationship with America is also what makes him stronger. Yet the narrator's conclusion is that the seemingly mighty future of America is in danger of disappearing "like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

So the predicate is the part of a sentence or clause containing a verb and stating something about the subject, apart from the noun/ subject of the sentence and then the verb phrase would be the verb paired with its object/ what the verb is doing to it (ex. running a marathon). In the case of number one it would be "writes funny stories" with the predicate being that along with the words following it in the sentence. Number 6 is "put the dirty dishes". Hope that helps!
