"We will rise from the golden hills of the West.
We will rise from the windswept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution. We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states. We will rise from the sun-baked South."
This characterizes each region of North America.

One may note the end rhyme example: true/ grew; and the alliteration: we grieved, we grew/ we hurt, we hoped/ we tired, we tried. When Gorman recites these lines, she punches out the alliterative sounds in each phrase. Amanda tries to emphasis that despite all the negative occurrences, America takes these drawbacks as a positive implication; a way to grow.

"Every breath from my bronze pounded chest". The meaning of the image that this quote shows is the experience of the speaker and how it shaped them to be stronger.

The tone of the poem is an optimistic standpoint for where America is heading with the initiation of a new president. At the beginning of the poem, Amanda begins by stating Americas struggles mentioning slavery, "descended from slaves." Then Amanda continues by trying to imply that America will hold a better future by striving to be a better union despite all its drawbacks it might have had in the past. "But that doesn't mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect." Evidently, The tone is optimistic and positive, as Amanda tries to imply that the United States has a bright future ahead as they continue to strive for a better Union Everyday. Another example of Optimistic tone would be, " so let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left." With the inauguration of a new president, rather than Amanda trying to imply a questionable future for America, Amanda infers That America has a luminous future ahead with the hands of a new president.

The line "we step out of the shade of flame and unafraid" is my favorite line out of the entire poem since it represents the people who demand change that are tired of doing nothing and bringing themselves into the spotlight to become a voice of the people who cant do what they did

The line " we will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be." creates imagery by showing the USA as a whole as a nation as the people walking forward to a better nation instead of everyone going back to the old ways

In the lines "our people diverse and beautiful, will emerge battered and beautiful." shows alliteration for contrast because here what is being contrasted is how the people of this country will emerge, "battered" and "beautiful". These words are almost opposites of each other. What this means in the text is how people in America are "battered" or have gone through very rough times but because of this they will also be stronger and more "beautiful" people because of it.

The repetition of "That even as we " in the poem shows how even though the nations as a whole went through many tragedies or as they "grieved", "hurt", or were "tired" the nation as a whole still continued on, it shows perseverance of the nation, that "we grew", "hoped", and "tried". This repetition of words is to show the perseverance and working through problems and solving them as a nation.

The line "Somehow we weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished." is my favorite line in this poem. I really like this part because I really believe that despite all the major problems this country has, no matter how big, they can be fixed. I believe this country can be finished or get close to finished and become better.

"but while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated"
This is my favorite line because it shows the importance of having a democracy. It says that democracy in the US will never end.

"We will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be: a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free."

I find this line in the poem very motivational since not focusing on the past and rather the future is a very important way to live your life.

"If we merge mercy with might, and might with right...". What's mainly emphasized  is the association with mercy, might, and right. I think the meaning that is created from this is that we as a country see our might as an act of mercy and often confused it as a tool of justice that can be used to stop worldwide problems when all it does is instill fear and make other nation's do irrational actions

The lines, "That even as we grieved, we grew...hurt,  we hoped...tired, we tried" shows alliteration for contrast since the words are opposites of each other. The speaker does this in order to show how the United States is trying to better itself without undermining the past.

"So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left". This is my favorite line because better = good. And i like good = happy. Therefore, by the transitive property, I like the quote

The repetition of "we will rise rise from the" is used to emphasize how everyone in the United States is one big team fighting for the common goal of equality. Moreover, although the United States was not always one big team, we will overcome those past differences and fight as one.
