Answer:
The speaker tells in these lines about the importance of his father in his life.
Explanation:
The message which the speaker of “Song of the Son" suggested was that we the black African Americans have a very painful past. Our ancestors tolerate pain and hardships in their life. We have to remember all their hardships and pain and make this society a better place for us and for our coming generations. He also mentions in this poem that his father was a slave who bears a lot of pain due to white supremacy.
Language elevates the message. It makes the message linger and resonate in listeners' minds. (Hope it helps)

Answer:
The fictional excerpt is more poetic than the nonfictional excerpt.
Explanation:
In the fictional passage about <em>Angel Agnes</em> from the chapter "Agnes saves a child but dies herself", Agnes is shown in a deep slumber. But the narrative voice uses the words <em>"wandering, or perhaps she was dreaming"</em>, which is poetic and even fairy-tale like. The further description about her appearance provides an image of something more ethereal than a normal, realistic image.
On the other hand,<em> The Summer of the Pestilence</em> provides a historical account of the Yellow fever and the effects it had on man. The passage deals with the realistic, even violent images of the effects of the disease, an unpleasant picture.
The two passages about death are presented in such a way that the fictional work is more poetic than the realistic / non fictional excerpt.
