5.	Read the poem once more selecting a line or phrase that struck you as luminous or beguiling. Copy and paste it here. Why did you pick this line? Our blunders become their burdens                         This is a very interesting line because it points out the biggest flaw in human beings. The mistakes, and actions to resolve those mistakes don’t apply to us, it applies to the generation of people that come after us. Our shortcomings become the problems for the people that live after us. I chose this line because it highlights the biggest flaw in humanity and there is no way to fix a flaw without knowing what it is.

“When day comes we step out of the shade, aflame and unafraid”. I picked this line because I think it has a very deep meaning. I think the shade represents the dark state of our country. However, even though the shade is dark it also provides a safe haven from the sun. The sun represents new ideas and a better tomorrow. The sun may burn you though. This line shows how change is difficult for many people and many fear what will come with change. This highlights how change will not be easy, but we must face it with courage.
