Answer:

To convey the teenagers' rebellion against their parents and teachers.

Explanation:

<em>'We Real Cool' by Gwendolyn Brooks illustrates the theme of identity of a group of teenagers, black males. The tone of the poem indicates rebellion and adamant deference of the gang. These are the boys who are unwanted by family and society due to their indecent activities like "lurk late", "strike straight", "thin gin" and "sing sin". </em>The poet also elaborates that they may be true to their own desires unlike the masses yet he calls them pathetic. They celebrate jazz June filled with energy and spirit but which could also be the climax as it leads the premature death of this 'macho gang'(as a consequence to their relentless pursuit of youth and energy)

AveGali [126]
A pronoun replaces a noun. Common pronouns are he, she and it. So, the only pronoun in this sentence is she.
 
"...she stopped at the gas station." 

An antecedent is the word that the pronoun refers back to, or replaces. So, who is "she?" "She" is Denise.

"...Denise went to the grocery store..."

So, the pronoun (she) refers to its antecedent, Denise.

In paragraph 4,how does kennedy respond to those who believe communism is a positive system
andrew11 [14]

The speech this question is referring to is President Kennedy's Special Message to the Congress on Urgent National Needs, May 25, 1961

Kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

<em>"Yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. They have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. They send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. But where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in Vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)</em>

President Kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation.
