What is the Literal meaning and deeper meaning?

English
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]2 years ago
3 0

sorry I was gonna answer it but I had to do something. Anyways, I think the literal meaning would be that the people in the poem are assuming that black people listen to rap music and music that "African Americans listen to" when anyone can listen to anything, hence the "Afrobeats and Caribbean music"

The deeper meaning is that this person who is speaking knows "white artists" as they grew up around these people. "Yet, I am familiar with the beat of pounding . Pounding of sugar cane, the whipping of backs . The cries and screams of my ancestors . Ring loud in my head centuries later " They are saying here that they know too much about being a slave and being whipped on the back by their owners. "The cries and screams of my ancestors  ring loud in my head centuries later" This means that there is generation trauma, which is really sad. BLM

3. What does the poet mean when he uses the word “wealth”?

In the context of the poem, the speaker gazes around at a meadow full of daffodils, without fully understanding how much the scene really means to him. He remembers the moment later on in his life and it brings him COMFORT. With this in mind, think about what the poet means when he speaks of wealth.

In this situation, wealth does not mean money.

Think about a precious memory you have. When you were experiencing that moment, did you know how precious it was? Did you know how much “wealth” it would bring you in the future?

The daffodils that the poet gazed at brought him ____ in days of sadness.

Fill in the blank with an accurate word and your choice will correspond with “wealth” and what it means in this poem.

HINT: I mentioned the word in the first paragraph of my answer. It’s in caps.
