It’s the Universal message of the story
<span>Writing
a global purpose means that you have got to put in mind anything that you will
be doing with what the possible effects it could give you and to other people.
You got to ask the question what benefits could these goals to you and others? To
the environment? When we write goals, we sometimes mistakenly view the world as
if its in the palm of our hands. You need to write goals which are attainable,
which you can do in your own way.</span>
McKay personifies America as a woman who feeds him "bread and bitterness" and who sinks her "tiger's tooth" into his throat. By using the pronouns she and her to refer to America, McKay turns the concept of a country into a person who can cause the narrator harm even while he loves her. The effect of this personification turns the relationship between the narrator and his country into a more personal relationship, full of the conflicting emotions that come along with loving a person.
