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. ]]> 2021-03-29 18:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365218367 Ben C. https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365218784 The speaker of the poem is the people of the world but made out to be one single person by using first person.

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.]]> 2021-03-29 18:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365220015 Ava avat43120 https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365220970 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.]]> 2021-03-29 18:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365220970 Briyahn Drake https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365221090 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.

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.

He wants the audience to know that something is upsetting them. ]]> 2021-03-29 18:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365222706 Ava avat43120 https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365222720 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. ]]> 2021-03-29 18:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365222720 Steem Teven https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365223315 ·       This represents how us, as humans, tend to cherry-pick the past.

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.]]> 2021-03-29 18:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365225440 Steven T. https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365225459 ·       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. ]]> 2021-03-29 18:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365225459 Latazia https://padlet.com/ericapfleegor/ljummylvlm3yw7d7/wish/1365226283 The speaker of the poem is Carl Sandburg as the people of the world.

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."

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”.

Carl Sandburg’s poem highlights the great things these workers have pursued in the past, “I am the working man, the inventor, the maker of the world’s food and clothes..” he continues by stating “I forget” Insinuating that society forgets the firm work that the inventors, working man, and architects preforms.

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.

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.

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).

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.
