This poem focuses on black women's sacrifices to ensure their children's educations. It mainly celebrates the women of her mothers' era, who was a maid and wife to a failed sharecropper. The figurative language she uses highlights their strength and bravery they held and used, to try and make their kids' lives better so they could hold better opportunities.

Which of these qualities is generally true of both traditional and modern plays?
Lana71 [14]
I would say that the qualities that are generally true of both traditional and modern plays is that they contain elements such as dialogue, setting, characters, and plot.
The other options are incorrect because:
They aren't necessarily just dramas or tragedies, they could also be comedies.
The order of these events isn't that strict.
They don't necessarily resolve the conflict.
