In "i too" why does the speaker say "they" will be ashamed

English

Delvig [45]3 years ago

<span>In 'I, Too' by Langston Hughes, the speaker refers to 'they' frequently throughout to indication a polarisation between himself and wider 'America', the America that he, too, is a part of. In the last instance of this in the poem, the line is 'They'll see how beautiful I am/And be ashamed-' which implies that the bias held by wider America against him exists only because 'they' have not yet seen him for what he truly is.</span>

Which excerpt from the "The Turtle" best expresses the theme that all living things are a part of, and are guided by, a natural
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The excerpt that best expresses the theme that all living things are a part of, and are guided by, a natural purpose is:

<u>She's only filled with an old blind wish. It isn't even hers but came to her</u>

Explanation:

"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver. The speaker in the poem talks of the beauty and effortlessness of turtle laying eggs in the sand. It's a sacred action, which the turtle itself cannot understand since the drive to do it does not come consciously. It is a purely instinctive drive, guided by nature. The speaker admires the turtle's determination and patience in completing the task while remaining unaware of itself as an individual. The turtle sees itself as the world, and the world as itself.
