The speaker of the poem is the people of the world but made out to be one single person by using first person. He represents the collective will of the population of the world

The speaker is Carl Sandburg. represents the people of the world, or the 99% of people, making up the working class.

The speaker of the poem is the poet Carl Sandburg, and he represents the people. I know this because in the first sentence he says “I am the people--the mob--the crowd--the mass.” The people are the ones who don’t hold direct power in government yet hold the true power as a large collective. In the first stanza, Sandburg explains that “all the great work of the world is done through me,” the people.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the speaker is supposed to be the maker of all living things on earth. The speaker represents a guide for the people fighting against the people in power. I came to this conclusion from this quote,"when I, the People, use the lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year".

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker repeats the line “I forget” to make his point more impactful and clear. The parallelism and use of this line in sentences like “Terrible storms pass over me, I forget,”(Sandburg, stanza 3)  helps the reader to internalize his message that the people forget how they have been hurt and don’t hold others accountable for the pain often enough.

# data[].attributes.body
Sandburg structures the poem like someone telling you who they are, and everything that comes with their past and identity. The first stanza introduces the speaker, the second introduces the people’s accomplishments. The third and fourth stanzas explain the narrator’s strength and pain, and the fifth and sixth stanzas list advice on how to become stronger. (Sandburg) I think this order of commentary helps to build meaning because the beginning lays the groundwork in people’s mind of what the subject is and its importance while the end addresses the poet’s intention in writing this piece. We can tell this because the main idea of the text really starts to develop after stanza two. Through this order we can use the background information to strengthen our understanding of the meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
I am the People, the Mob is a metaphorical poem that uses literary devices such as Personification. In the text Carl Sandburg quotes “Terrible storms pass over me”, this part of the text makes me believe that the speaker isn’t a person. However, I do believe that nature plays a great part of the text, my

evidence to support my reasoning clearly acquires all of the details in this poem. Sandburg states, “ I am a prairie that will stand for much plowing.. I am the audience that witnesses history. ”. The speaker is very transparent when describing the persona behind the text. With all of this to say, the speaker must be an individual who doesn't acquire that much recognition.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker identifies as “the people-the mob-the crowd-the mass.”

He represents those who are fighting and protesting for a change of power. When he states “I am the workingman, the inventor, the marker if the world’s food and clothes” he portrays the impact of the people have had on the world by withholding power.

# data[].attributes.body
He repeats “I forget” in those lines because it creates an effect of how humanity can forget the terrible things that happened to others and then when it remembers it will finally try to do something about the awful things that happen daily.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the main idea of this poem is that the people hold so much power and that we could hold much more if we simply remembered how we were hurt in the past. I believe this was the authors intention of writing because the fifth stanza says “when…the people learn to remember…no speaker in all the world say the name: ‘The People’ with any fleck of a sneer.” (Sandburg) This shows how much the author wants to convey the message that people have power and acknowledging the past will only make it stronger.

·       This represents how us, as humans, tend to cherry-pick the past. It causes us to forget the challenges faced in our own country. It makes us forget the wars that we started and the issues that we still face because of these issues.

He structures his poem so that whenever he has a point to make, he goes down another line so that it isn’t just continuous monotony and it sort of emphasizes the points he wants to make on those lines

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker after he faces an obstacle/challenge he “forgets”, deeper in context of the poem, he moves on regardless of what has been taken from him and been in his way of being heard. This effects readers by implying to them that confidence and passion towards something will not stop you from your ambitions.

·       It is structured as an introduction and a call to action to “remember” the past and all the hardships on the working class. How people in the middle and lower class are forced to obey while paid lower than sustainable minimum wage. How people should be treated equally, but they laugh when we, the people, mention change.

# data[].attributes.body
This poem can be seen as a call-to-action for a coup because it inspires people with feelings of power and it states a person’s civic duty to stand against what is wrong. The author Sandburg tells readers that “the great work of the world is done through [the people].” (stanza 1) This tells the mass that they are responsible for change, and that they have the greatest means to do so. This could be seen as a call to action for political uprising for these reasons. Another part of the text that is particularly insightful is the line where Sandburg says that when “the people learn to remember…[and] use the lessons of yesterday…the mob—the crowd—the mass—will arrive then.” (stanza 6)  This part again instills people with knowledge of their power and a passion to do what they see necessary for change.

The speaker of the poem is Carl Sandburg as the people of the world. He represents all classes of people who hold power.

# data[].attributes.body
This poem defines "coup" as a result of the power people have. This power has emerged into all of the great leaders and government systems that have ever existed, and with the same power can these systems be changed or destroyed. Sandburg shows how when "the People use the lessons of yesterday" power will come and so will "the mob--the crowd--[and] the mass." This almost paints a coup as a responsibility and goal that will instill positive and necessary change.

·       The main idea of this poem is that the “people” mentioned here have, in a way, selective memory disorder, forgetting the hardships forced upon them. Even though the people contribute 99% of the work, they get 1% of the salary and rights.

AhlyndiaI don't think there's a literal speaker  because it states, “ I am the audience that witnesses history. The Napoleons come from me and the Lincolns. They die. And then I send forth more Napoleons and Lincolns”. This makes it seem as if they are reincarnated the way that the author is putting things into perspective.He represents everyone and does all work, it states in line  1 “ I am the people - the mob - the crowd - the mass”. Right here he is stating as if he’s their voice and their representation.

·       This can be seen as a call to action because the “hardships” mentioned in this poem are hardships faced by their own government. How the government has failed to evenly balance rights and ways of living, making people who spend night and day scratching by fail while 1% can sit back and let money roll in. It’s a call-to-action because he’s telling people to fight back against this oppression.

Sandburg’s poem is focused on the people who make up the city or as Sandburg’s refers to the cities as “the mob”. For this reason, the poem begins with the speaker introducing him/herself and goes on to explain the significance of the workers or the men generating history. The author comments on the hard working men, “ The best of me is sucked out and wasted.”, stating that there isn’t enough notice for the workers. The poem begins with an introduction of the city, and what it is brought upon (the workers), the speaker then begins to strengthen the tone of the text while talking about how there isn’t enough spotlight on these individuals. Structure is a significant skill to use while writing, it controls the major elements of story, and organization of the main idea.

Sandburg uses repetition and strong tone throughout the poem to build a sense of confidence. Repeatedly, the speaker says “When I, the People” to confidently illustrate the betrayal they face and reasons they should fight for change. This builds on the meaning of the poem that when they are betrayed and faced hardships that they must bring action to fight for justice.

The poem mainly focuses on the individuals who are brought up in this text. The repetitive phrase “I forget” pinpoints the significance or concept of the poem. The workers are explained as vague characters who aren’t appreciated for what they do. Sandburg’s idea is that many people in this world are known for bringing succor into this world.. However, they aren’t appreciated or noticed for the huge impact that they give out.

The main Idea is that “The People” have been betrayed but they will use violence to bring justice. The speaker confidently toned said “then there will be no speaker in all the world say the name: “The People,” with any fleck of a sneer in his voice or any far-off smile of derision” to portray that they will bring change and not be mocked again.

Sandburg structures his poem by having three sections and each section leading to the overall idea of the poem. This commentary helps build meaning by having a build up to the climax of the story.

The speaker of the poem is “The people”. He represents
“the, the mob, the mass” he said in his poem. He represents freedom but violent. He represents equality but dangerous.

I think the main idea of this poem is how the working class and common people are disregarded In history and how even when they try to come together and fight, the higher authorities will always have power over them.

# data[].attributes.body
The poem gives a sense of passion and confidence when describing their setbacks and how they will continue to fight for power. “The people” have said they will “use the lessons of yesterday and no longer forger who robbed [the people] last year, who played [them] for a fool” to build pride to fight against those they consider enemies.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker repeats the phrase "I forget" to illustrate the past and present patterns of repetition within the people's actions when dealing with a hierarchy issue. I interpret the quote "spatter a few red drops for history to remember. Then—I forget.", as the speaker saying the event that is currently happening closely resembles other events in history. However; the people are not doing anything different and not learning from the past.

# data[].attributes.body
He repeats "I forget" in those lines to establish the effect of mankind forgetting bad things that have happened to someone and then trying to do more about the horrible things that happen on an everyday basis as it remembers. This exemplifies how we, as people, have a proclivity for cherry-picking the past. It makes us forget about the difficulties we face in our own world.

As I stated in the last question, individuals who aren’t noticed for what they do continue to work as hard as they’ve done in the past. Carl may be calling society to take a moment to applaud these people, motivate them, and cheer them on, although many people aren’t doing this. For this reason, workers are prone to get angry for something that they’ve worked so hard for, and not receiving the attention that should be present. This could lead to a protest for more recognition in the form of (increased pay, speaking highly of these people on mass media, or simply providing them with thanks).

The poem was written by a person named Carl Sanburg, but was written from the perspective of, or representing, the people. In the text it states "I am the people- the mob- the crowd- the mass." He wants the audience to know that something is upsetting them.

I think the main idea of the poem is to teach and remind the people who are protesting in the future.   It's there to remind them to learn from the past but stop copying and pasting strategies that may or may have not worked in the past."The mob—the crowd—the mass—will arrive then." The speaker says the only way for the people to truly win is to not forget the ones who do not have your best interest at heart.

The speaker of the poem is Carl Sandburg. He represents the mob. This is demonstrated in the first line when he says “I am the people-the mob-the crowd-the mass.”

# data[].attributes.body
The literal definition of a coup is "a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government." Many workers or as the author states in "I am the People, the Mob" would refer to as "the Mob", aren't recognized for the essential and great works that they provide for our country. They are only given hazard pay temporarily, not enough revenue or attention given. For this reason, this could be the birth of a protest; simply because these individuals aren't seen as "essential or enough".

He repeats “I forget” because in my opinion he’s that because every time they lose a battle, they feel like they've lost the war. Also that since nobody is taking action he “forgets”.

# data[].attributes.body
Sandburg’s poem is structured in an interesting way. It is almost like he is introducing a character. He tells you about who the people are in the first part. He then talks about what they do, and the situations they get put in to do these things. This makes the reader understand a greater understanding of the people and allows them to relate to them.

# data[].attributes.body
The main idea of the poem is that the people hold the true power. It is meant to illustrate what the people go through and how they use the power they work so hard for.

# data[].attributes.body
Sandburg develops a sense of faith in the poem by using continuity and a strong tone. The speaker uses the expression "When I, the People" many times to highlight the betrayal they are feeling and the arguments they should fight for reform. This confirms the poem's message that when people are betrayed and face struggles, they must take steps and fight for what is right.

This can be seen as a call for action because it lets the people know the power they have. It also describes conditions some people may be facing.

He structured his poem in a way which I find is weird but also very pleasing in a way. I’m not sure how the information is organized. The order of commentary was by protesting and using violence against the government. It helped build on meaning by showing the world what’s going on and how they can help to put an end to the wrong in the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
The core theme of this poem, in my mind, is how the working class and common people have been marginalized throughout history, and how the higher officials will always have control over them, even as they want to join together and fight.

# data[].attributes.body
In the poem, there seems to be an underlying theme of the wrongdoing wraught upon to the working class and how we are manipulated to think otherwise. Judging from this, you can assume that the poem would define a coup as a call for justice from the harm and the wrondoings by the government
