Answer:

The main purpose or role of the alliteration in lines 5–7 of “Magic Island" is to create rhythm and help the reader to visualize and remember the descriptions.

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to the occurrence of the same letter or sound in a group of words that are close to each other in a line of poetry or text. In lines 5-7 of Magic Island, the following alliterations occur;

waves of wind

catches a kite

keeps it there.

These words sound alike thus, forming a rhythm that sounds nice to the ears. The rhythm thus formed will help the reader to always remember the description as well as visualize the word pictures.

Read the excerpt from "When Fear Was Stronger Than Justice":
timurjin [86]
<span>About two-thirds of all Japanese Americans interned at Manzanar were American citizens by birth. FDR's executive order took freedom away from American citizens without due process. That was due to the fear of "</span><span>everyone of Japanese ancestry" which was unfounded.

</span><span>Manzanar’s internees suffered from the harsh desert environment. Temperature soared as high as 110ºF in summer while dropped frequently below freezing in winter. Combined with "</span><span>The temporary, tar paper-covered barracks, the guard towers" all showed how badly the Japanese Americans were treated in those internment camps.

Watch her 2018 TED-Ed talk to learn a little more about her. You will see that, in the tradition of speaking truth to power, Ms.
Vanyuwa [196]

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.
