1. Identifying the main idea and the reading strategies i applied
The main idea of the poem is to express how people feel about the unfairness in their country, especially under a rule that takes away their rights. The poem is used as a way to raise awareness to this injustice and inequality that people are facing. The reading strategy I have implemented to identify the main idea is summarizing by analyzing and sumarrizing the poem to find the main idea.
2. how the poet uses a certain point of view to narrate a subject matter in a poem
the poet uses the third person point of view. He uses phrases such as "if the people leave," "rulers deliver speeches," "perhaps they have lost hope," and "if the people hide away.", Using these different phrases, the poet tells us how leaders and people are connected and helps us see how they act and relate to each other.
3. The Figurative Language Used
The poet used used the figurative language metaphor and personification.
Metaphor: "If the people leave while rulers deliver speeches, we must watch out, perhaps they have lost hope" it means that the audience is becoming uninterested with what the rulers are saying. The act of people leaving is a metaphor
Personification: And if the rulers’ talk may not be rejected, truth must surely be under threat. the phrase uses personification by making "truth" seem like a person who can be in danger.
