Answer:
The streets are unusually crowded.
Explanation:
"Warriors Don't Cry" by Melba Pattillo Beals is an autobiographical account of the Civil war and the anti racism movement of which she was a huge part. She along with some black men and women, displayed extreme courage and dedication to bring about change during the most turbulent of times in American history.
The given excerpt from the text shows a great deal of repetition where Beals talked of how many cars and traffic was there, with the "unusual" number of whites too. This repetition laid emphasis on the "unusually" crowded streets which never used to be before. This also led the narrator to fear but also at the same time, be aware of the changes that she and the the blacks had to endure.

Answer:
Literary devices used:
- Imagery
- Symbolism
- Point of view
- Oxymoron
- Hyperbole
Explanation:
The poem uses imagery because the author is very descriptive when describing the kind of man this women needs, the poem uses symbolism throughout the poem to describe the women's nationality. The poem uses point of view in third person because it has a narrator, the poem uses oxymoron because at first you would think the women is happy but then turns out to be sad and needing love and affection. Then finally hyperbole which is when the author uses exaggerated phrases which when he said he would walk through lightning.
Hope this helps.
