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 <em>"It has the right to remain either bruised or silent"</em>, 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 <em>guilty</em>, that he is <em>powerless</em>, so he is turning <em>numb </em>and slowly becomes <em>one of the many</em>.

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

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

Recall a "first" in life: the birth of your first baby sibling, your first time driving, the first birthday party you remember,
klio [65]

Answer:

Sitting stiffly in front of the steering wheel, I do as my father told me and gently start the car. Carefully I drove it to the middle of the street double-checking, the rearview mirror just in case that a car or a bike suddenly appears. I successfully did the firsts meters without any problems. I made it to the end of my desolated street. Everything was fine, no cars, no kids, no dogs, nothing to worry about.

Suddenly, Tim, that annoying kid with his red ball, sees me from his porch. I saw his face while I was anxiously approaching his ostentatious house, and I knew that he was planning something. Carefully lying my feet on the brakes expecting for him to run in front of the car and my nervous self, I pass in front of his house. I was driving so slowly that I made his target extremely easy. His shiny red ball hit me square in the face making me lose control of the car and hit the brakes just in time before crashing the car against the big oak tree of Mr. Ferguson.

Explanation:

In this text, we describe a first-time driving experience. In the text, there are details about how the person feels during his first driving, what he sees, and what he is scare of. Also, we develop the sequence from the moment he sees his neighbor till he loses control due to the ball.

It is important to include details and a sequence in a narrative to engage the reader, make it clear, and transmit the story and the scene as vividly as possible.
