The title of the poem is "still I rise". The title tells me that this poem is about that nobody's perfect, and we're all still growing and improving our selfs.
My first impression while reading the poem is, feeling motivated and hopeful. Because the author was motivating me to not let people hold me down, and to always rise when I fall.
The theme of the poem is (don't give up when you feel like you're falling apart).
The tone of the poem is, hopeful and fearless.
The mood of the poem is, motivated and inspired.
To make people feel like they are worth it, and to not people down.
The poem was published on 1978.
The author was talking about herself experience , to inspire people not to give up.
yes, she had an awful and bad past from family issues. And she struggled from the racism that happened during that age.
Afghan war began
The author "Maya Angelou" was, living in the u.s.a. And working as a poet.
yes, there are 7 stanzas in the poem.
The type of the poem is inspirational.
yes.
yes. (A,B,C,B)
The word choices that the author used, indicates sadness. he used "bitter" to show how harmful it is to feel down.
It tells me that I shouldn't feel down, and to be happy.
Yes, there were so confusing words. Such as: haughtiness.
The author used some figurative language and sound devices in the poem. Such as hyperbole, the author wrote "you may kill me with your hatefulness". The author exaggerated the event of someone killing her with their hatefulness. because nobody can actually kill some one with their hate, but the feeling of being hated is killing her.This helped us visualize the scene and emphasize how harmful would it be to feel hated. Another example is rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme of the poem is (A,B,C,B). The rhyme scheme gives a musical,songlike and lyric sound to the poem. There are also rhyming words in the poem. Such as, "lies" and "rise". These rhyming word also give a musical, songlike and lyric sound to the poem.
The poem inspired people because author described how hard and hurtful it feels to feel down.
To inspire people to not feel broken, and bad about themselves. And the purpose didn't change.
No.
Yes, because this poem would inspire them and motivate them to do better everyday.
Because it improved and helped many people not feel broken and hurt.
I predict that this poem will be relevant in the future because in all ages there are many people who feel down and depressed of themselves or about other people's opinions, and then they try to rise up and start again.
No, was not related to afghan war.
