" I am the farmer bondsman to the soil" , "I am the worker sold to the machine", " I am the Negro, servant to you all." These quotes make references to tragic events that have occurred in America before such as slavery. This helps you understand the story more, because you see how the author feels about these situations and why he's so passionate about letting " America be America again."]]> 2017-10-12 12:56:41 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/ueglus5rljx/wish/196391416 https://padlet.com/p0170309/ueglus5rljx/wish/196391858
Metaphors are figures of speeches which involve an implied comparison between two relatively unlike things. Metaphors compare and you can make connections that will help you gain a deeper understanding of the poem. Metaphors in poems are often used to help us readers understand the character and his point of view. "Equality is in the air we breathe" is a metaphor that helps us visualize that the united states supports equality but it's not in the air. The air and equality are unrelated but the author uses it for us anyways to have an understanding.]]> 2017-10-12 12:57:34 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/ueglus5rljx/wish/196391858 https://padlet.com/p0170309/ueglus5rljx/wish/196393726 "O, let my land be a land where's liberty is crowned with no false patriotic wrath".

Free Rights Vs. Now
-Back then there was salver and coloured people had no rights, so why does Trump want to go back to that?

IRONY 
“Let America be America again.Let it be the dream it used to be.(America was never America to me)”.

It’s ironic how the author refers to trying to get America to become America again but then says America was never America to him.Its ironic how the author refers to America as two different places to him in the same text.
