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)
