Question

Which theme describes the main theme of the poem resisting arrest by kyle dargan ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Police brutality and the numberless arrests of African Americans

Explanation:

The main theme of 'Poem resisting arrest' is police violence of African Americans.

Using the metaphor of the poem for African American people, Dargan explains the events and feelings that his people go through every day. With the lines such as "It has the right to remain either bruised or silent", he uses what we know about police and the brutality to bring us closer to when African American person goes through facing the police officer. He – or in this case, the poem – knows he will be guilty, that he is powerless, so he is turning numb and slowly becomes one of the many.

Dargan uses the poem and the metaphor to explain how African Americans resist arrest and police brutality.

At the core, he is using the poem and poetry as the means of the resistance without being found guilty.
