Your answer is A “add quotations”
Just pick your favourite song, google the lyrics for it, fill in the writer's name in the line after "writer:", then do the same for the performer but with the performers name. explain why it's your favourite song and what it makes you feel.
then below, pick out a line in the song and put it down, and on the other side, explain what it makes you feel. example : "I'm nothing special, in fact, I'm a bit of a bore." (by abba) ——— it makes me feel understood? like I can relate? (or something like that, you know.) then do so for the rest of the boxes.
then, put in a rhyming line and explain why you like it. next, describe the beat of the song. is it fast? slow? smooth? is it something you can dance to? does it sound energetic? does it sound calming? then explain why it makes you feel that way.
lastly, describe the singer's voice in the song. are they singing clearly? or in a low voice? a high voice? then explain how it makes you feel. does it make you feel calm? does it send shivers? does it make you remind you of someone else?

Perhaps Dunbar uses the image of a mask as wearing a face allows us to conceal our face - enabling us to hide any expression or emotion. In his poem, he mentions how black people felt the need to appear as content or happy when surrounded by people who were white - especially when they felt the opposite. The mask represents the false expressions the blacks had to wear.
