Baldwin not only describes how white people hate black people, but also shows why black people carry the same act. At one point in his book, he writes: “I imagine that one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.” It is the representation of a post-hate state: the hate is gone, but the process continues - the person suffers the consequences of his acts after realizing what he has done. The correct answer is B.
The analysis of the poem "The song of the women of my land" by Oumar Farouk Sesay is-
The poet Oumar Farouk Sesay says that the women in his time used to sing songs whose lyrics represented the hardwork that they suffered during ploughing of land, the pain they suffered when they were treated as servants, handcuffed and ill-treated.
The song represented the pain, the love, compassion etc. The song represented their way of living and the history of time they saw.
But now all those women were dead and the song and lyrics were gone. They lyric were now used by local poets and singers. The voice of the song was dead now. The song was no longer comforting.
The cold water rushed against my bare legs as I sat alone on the beach. The sky was turning a dark blue and the clouds were starting to make way for the moon. By this time, everyone was starting to pack up their things and head back towards their hut. When it was time for us to leave, I had told my Mother that I wanted to stay for a couple more minutes. A couple more minutes turned into hours and now, here I was: planning my escape from the island I once called home.
I looked out onto the island, taking in it’s essence one more time. Goodbye, home.
My life will begin soon.
