Answer:

                                      Analysis

I Rise" is primarily about self-respect and confidence. In the poem, Angelou reveals how she will overcome anything through her self-esteem. She shows how nothing can get her down. She will rise to any occasion and nothing, not even her skin color, will hold her back. Although slavery had been long abolished, Angelou saw its effects on society and the African American people. This poem is her declaration that she, for one, would not allow the hatefulness of society to determine her own success. This poem is not only a proclamation of her own determination to rise above society, but was also a call to others to live above the society in which they were brought up. It is still one of the most widely read poems in America.

                                      Elements

Form and Meter :The poem is written in an A-B-C-B meter, until the last two stanzas when the meter becomes A-B-A-B.Genre

Setting: The setting is not mentioned, but one could assume that it is America in the 1970s after the end of segregation (based on Angelou's life).

Protagonist and Antagonist :The speaker is the protagonist. The antagonist is unspecified, but he is/they are most likely white oppressors (and specifically, white males) who want to condemn her to the pain of her ancestors.

Pavlova-9 [17]
Dont get your questio<span>While most nutritional authorities agree that there are seven major or macrominerals, there are differences of opinion as to the number of trace minerals that are considered essential. For instance, in a pamphlet titled, “The Benefits of Nutritional Supplements” written for the Council of Responsible Nutrition, author Annette Dickinson, Ph.D., includes molybdenum as an essential trace mineral. However, MedlinePlus does not. Going by Dr. Dickinson's account, this would place the total number of minerals considered to be essential at 16.</span>n

What does limiting yourself do to your future learning?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Limiting yourself also ruins your productivity. But once you let go of that, you'll actually get to work more often and will be more focused (instead of procrastinating, thinking you'll fail, or having doubts). The results will be great too and soon other people will start noticing it.

‘Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
Ugo [173]

Answer: "He" is the person who succeeded despite the doubters.

The context seems to be a situation that seemed impossible to most people, but one person dared to try, even when someone scoffed and tried to discourage him.

The alliteration is the repetition of s-sounds in "someone scoffed"
