Read the following poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar and answer the question that follows.
emmasim [6.3K]

<em>Answer:</em> 2. He uses dialect to better connect the message to the intended audience.

<em>Explanation</em>: I want to say that it is answer 2.)!

This is a very emotional poem that I had to analyze last semester, the message of the poem is very important to the author and poem itself. Dialect is generally a kind of language that people speak in a certain region or part of the country.
