Answer:
Because Angelou´s self-confidence and her feisty approach to life might seem like not good qualities for a black woman in the eyes of those who are racist and/or against the human rights of women and African Americans.
Explanation:
Maya Angelou´s poem titled "Still I Rise" is an ode to the resilience of those who suffer oppression. Angelou was a civil rights activist whose poetry often referred to blackness and black womanhood, so it´s likely that this poem is a critique of anti-black racism.
When she asks if her sassiness might upset some people, she uses irony to reflect her disdain for what the white man thinks of her. She repeatedly describes herself as behaving like someone with lots of money and power would, and since she´s a black woman, she knows there are people who won´t like that. So her question is actually a provocation: she couldn´t care less about offending that kind of people.

individual choice.
The trait typical of the Romantic era is featured in
Washington Irving’s short story "The Devil and Tom Walker" is
individual choice. In Romantic era, man is in the center of world, he is a free
being with the free choice. This short story is about Tom Walker who sells his
soul to the devil in order to get the buried treasure and he and his wife hoard
things from each other, things that should belong to both of them and be shared
by both of them. This story is regarded as a Faustian tale, the tale of
characters showing their greed and selfishness.
Answer:
Strong person
Explanation:
Figurative speech is words which do not have a literal meaning but represent something else. The passage mentions that Bindi is a warrior. This doesn't mean that she is an actual warrior. It means she is strong and courageous as a warrior should be. She is also an individual with a growing talent who has an ability to perform very well. So while she is also a great performer, the figurative language is referring to her strong personality.
