Answer and Explanation:
1. The way of positioning poetry as a form of popular education is something that stands out for me in this lecture. This is because it puts poetry, and literature in general, as an influencing and transforming factor in society, since that can stimulate concepts and reflection on problems of a political, social and economic nature.
2. I believe that Langston Hughes' poetry has a strong political and, in a way, democratic and social content, while placing African-Americans within this scenario, to which we are all part.
3. We must stand on our own shoulders and take our responsibility for ourselves and for the defense of democracy and the oversight of politics in our country, since we are responsible citizens for our nation. We must position ourselves and maintain what we represent, within society.
In the poem "On Turning Ten", the year-old speaker, sheds his thoughts on the realization that he is no longer a youngling. This particular poem is very melancholic which is a contrast to the usual humor of Billy Collin's poetry.
<h3>Summary of the Poem "On Turning Ten"</h3>
Billy Collin in this poem digs deep into the childhood memories of a 10-year-old, who remember the bliss and magic of childhood and contrasts that with the paid of life that he is now becoming aware of.
Although the adult to whom he speaks reassures him that he still has a lot of years to enjoy his childhood, the melancholic speaker indicates that it is impossible because he now sees the world from a different perspective.
