In the poem it never says anything about slaves so I am confused by why you put that the slaves are sad because in the poem it doesn't say anything about slaves.

I agree with your theme of a Person is not dead even though their dead.

I think the theme of the poem is even if you are dead your spirits are not. It said that if you are dead you are not inthe  poem

I think the theme is the dead aren't dead. Also I think the other part is that they are forever tortured since they come back after they die.

I agree with you because it says in the poem once you are dead, you are not dead

I think that theme is that once you are dead you are not gone forever. Once you are dead you are not dead.

I think that the theme  of this poem is that  if someone dies they still have their spirit. Also it says that the people who died actually did not.

I think the theme is that even if someone is dead does in mean they mean nothing and that the people who are dead can have made a big think that really helped people

I think the theme of the poem is that when you or someone else dies they still are in the world. They just are somewhere else taking the shape of something different
