The story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" describes how Dave, a seventeen-year-old boy, wants to buy a gun in order to earn the respect of the field hands that work with him. Dave ends up getting it, but accidentally shoots someone, and this precipitates a series of events that complicate his life.

The story contains a message of racial inequality that connects it with the civil rights movement. Dave and his family take part in sharecropping, one of the main ways in which African Americans could work the land. However, they were often dependent on white people and they earned very little money. This is shown by the way Dave's mother is often short on money. Moreover, Dave is victim of the oppression that many African Americans suffered, which leads him to feel powerless and desire the gun.

torisob [31]
The poem has a different understanding once you take into account she committed suicide soon after. In the poem she talk of being dead in the figurative sense and hiding it with smiles of accomplishment and illusions. Instead after you see she meant she was dead inside and when she talked of her feet saying we've gone to far she means she's tired of living.

Think of this, readers, when you have your next haircut. A Persian king had to get a message to his military leader, a Persian general. The king shaved a man's head, tattooed a message on his bare scalp, and told the man to let the hair grow back. The man then traveled to find the general, but no one knew he carried a message. When he reached the general, however, he delivered the message. Yes, as you guessed it, he had his head shaved again!
