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."

What does Malala’s letter show about her belief? (3 sentences)
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Malala believes that girls should be educated. Her father helped this belief by opening an all-girls’ school. He was told to shut down his school by the Taliban but he did not listen to them. Her beliefs were reinforced when, at the age of ten, the Taliban seized control of the Swat Valley. They began to bomb girls’ schools. Although Malala’s school was not bombed she still hated the Taliban. She thought of them like the vampires from Twilight.
