Line Six: It expands on the point made in line five.
Line Seven and Eight: The poet discusses the reaping announced in its title. Reaping of grain is generally done with a scythe (a farming tool with a long cured blade) or machine, cutting down wide columns of grain stalks with each pass.
LIne Nine: The speaker's work ethic is on display, as he talks about the balamce between what he has sown in the field and what fruits the field has borne. Although the speaker does not derive that much benefit from his work, the poet's wording in line nine betrays a pride for what little he has gained.
Line Ten: Refers to extended relations, not his direct descendants, and so readers can assume that "brother" is meant in the broadest sense, as as reference to all humanity.
Line Eleven: To "glean" means literally to gather what is leff on the ground after reapers have taken away the important parts of the harvest.
Line Twelve: The up-and-coming generations of black Americans, the speaker says, will have to fend for themsleves. The fields that they do not own and have not cultivated are symbolic of the way that black Americans were denied property ownership in the past.
Answer:
Most people probably agree to this, honesty is the key to understanding how someone really feels and can keep from causing trouble.
Some reasons are because no one wants to be lied to, people want to be trusted, and when you lie that trust slips away.
And a lot of the time lying or hiding the truth is a very heavy burden that can become too much, causing people to feel pain mentally and to a certain rate physically, depending on how bad the situation is.
Although the majority agree with this you also need to consider that some people don't agree.
Sometimes telling the truth is really harsh and can discourage someone. Sometimes the truth is something no one wants to hear. Also, you can lie to protect yourself in dangerous situations.
Like if someone asks for personal information like address, or hometown, usually, you would refuse but making something up is also an option. Maybe someone asks you something personal that pushes you out of your comfort zone or gives you trauma/pain people might not want to be honest in order to protect themselves.
I hope this is a good answer and it helps! :)
