Answer with Explanation:

Yes, I agree with the assertion that the desire to belong is a very powerful-if not the most powerful-human emotion. It stems from the human need of <em>"belongingness." </em>People live in a society, thus it is very natural for them to want to belong, so they can be accepted.

This desire is powerful and it can be explained in many situations. For example, a girl is very close with his girlfriends. One day, she noticed that each of them bought the latest gadget in school. Since she wanted to fit in and be accepted by them, she'll also ask her parents to buy her the same gadget.  

<u>However, there are disadvantages to having such a powerful desire depending on your motivation.</u> If a person's motivation to belong is<em> due to pleasing other people, then he will feel more lonely and dissatisfied. </em>He will then follow a pattern of seeking approval every time.

Click to read "I Am Offering this Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca. Then
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

I would contend that the lines that have a more serious tone are these: I am offering this poem to you, since I have nothing else to give, and when the world outside no longer cares if you live or die; remember, I love you.

Explanation:

The speaker in this poem starts and finishes his declaration of love with references to his lack of material wealth. These parts of the poem feature a more serious tone. He then asks his beloved one to keep the poem, and his love, like a humble, but necessary, object. It is here, and throughout the next two stanzas, when he employs a visually descriptive and figurative language: a warm coat, a pair of thick socks. He then compares the poem and his love to a pot full of yellow corn and a scarf for your head, two equally simple, but very comforting, things. Lastly, he compares his love to a compass and to a warm and safe place in the middle of the wilderness (a reference to senectitude), finishing with a praise to love.
