In the poem it talks about us as people not having the choices we think we should or believe we should have. My theme statement is that maybe sometimes what we expect we should have isnt always going to be for us .The poem talks about choices and on top of that going into further research, Giovanni created this poem right after her father died. The poem basically is saying that we don't have the choices we think we should have or believe but we know that life is short.
I think because they had to leave their home and even though they might be somewhere better it just doesn't feel right to them like its just not where belong or should be.
Hope it helps not sure if right
Because the British had many more people than they did. and the colonists were being taxed without representation
