What is the effect of McKay's use of the pronouns she and her to refer to America?

English
1 answer:
juin [17]3 years ago
6 0

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.

America, something that’s evolved, and devolved. English is the main language used but the country has become very diverse. Every century everyone gets lazier and lazier by the year. Everything is becoming easier and easier. We put efficacy before everything else; hence why our language has became easier to speak. Reading Shakespeare might’ve been easier to read back then but if someone from that century read ‘Harry potter’, it would simply be the same thing. It’s basically the more proper version of our language. We came from Britain, but we don’t have their accents, because people break from their original culture.
