The main idea of “Chants, curse can't stop Red Sox” is how Red Sox overcomes the odds to defeat the New York Yankees.
Explanation:
Red Sox had once labeled Yankees as the empire of the evil. And after its win over the Yankees, it claimed "all empires fall so must the Yankees".
The passage shows how a wildcard Red Sox turned history on its head by defeating the New York Yankees. Playing at a much smaller remuneration, Red Sox proved its mantle and registered one of the most stunning victories against the highly-rated Yankees.
No chants or curses could stop the Red Sox from making history.
The word that best describes the tone in this stanza is: happy.
This stanza was taken from the poem I Hear America Singing, by Walt Whitman. It's a poem of patriotism, of pride of each and every person who helps build America and make it what it is. Everyone is important: the carpenters, the mechanics, the masons, the mothers, the wives. All of them sing their melodious songs of freedom and opportunity.
Some consider Chinua Achebe the father of modern African Literature.
