Answer:
The purpose of the repetition is to intensify how the speaker does not want to receive criticism about his desires and the activities he does.
Explanation:
Repetition is the figure of language that allows a word to be repeated several times during a text, to intensify some textual element a meaning that the author is trying to convey.
We can see an example of repetition in the lines of the poem “Dear Friends” by Arlington, presented in the question above. The repetition is done through the use of the word "nor" where the speaker reinforces that he does not want to receive reprimands, criticisms or contrary opinions about what he wants to do and about what he does. It is likely that the speaker is referring to the criticism he receives for wanting to be a poet, but as this profession is his desire, he no longer wants to hear any contrary opinion about it.

Dear diary,
I was walking home from school one day and decided to take a different route to school,little did i know,i walked right into a couple of boys throwing rocks at a poor puppy.Its was a horrible sight,the puppy was whimpering,I felt so bad for that poor puppy so i told those mean boys to stop before i call the police on them for animal cruelty.The boys ran off,scared to be caught,I knelt down to make sure the dog was ok.Lucky he was still breathing.A rush of relieve went through my body,I called the animal hospital and they picked him up instantly,i rode with him to the hospital and they said he had a couple cuts from the stones and then they patched him up and said "We'll look after him till he's better"I said "ok" .I walked home and thought what would've happened if i didn't stop them?...
