Answer:

The main theme of the poem is the conflicts that a teenager goes through.

Explanation:

This poem is related by a teenager who finds herself with fears and problems. She is afraid of loneliness, death and criticizes sexism.

All this she must face alone, since her mother is only locked in her room.

Let's look at the aforementioned problems:

  • Fear of loneliness: This is expressed every time she says: <em>"and momma's in the bedroom with the door closed ",</em> she is afraid to face this whole stage alone and her mother does not accompany her. Also in another line she expresses this fear with the following words: <em>"Nobody even stops to think about my side of it " </em>
  • Fear of death: He refers to this repeatedly: <em>"what if I die  before morning "," suppose I die before graduation "," will I live long enough to grow up ". </em>
  • She criticizes sexism: <em>"I should have been on Math Team my marks were better than his". </em>Someone has rejected her just because she is a woman.

hodyreva [135]
D. The first African American opera singer that permanently became a member of New York's Metropolitan Opera was Marian Anderson. She is a contralto who became one of the best singers during the 20th century. A lot of people say that she has a very rich voice indeed. She was also offered with various opportunities such as acting but declined the offer due to her lack of knowledge in the field of acting. She is also the inspiration of the many black artists that want to excel greatly despite if the racial discrimination that they experienced back then.
