Uhm, hey there everyone. I wanted to ask for your help, I was assigned by our teacher to explain this poem, I just wanted to ask for your opinion about this poem, i mean can you explain it in your own words in every line and then its overall message. Actually i already finished explaining it in my own words, i just wanted to know your opinion toward this poem, incase i missed something about the message of the poem, or i can also add your opinions in my explanation (its a plus in my grade then haha).
So, heres the poem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would rather be poor and free ... than be a comfortable slave
I would rather be foolish and free .. than an indoctrinated slave
I would rather be prepared and free ..than a mercenary slave
I would rather be parochial and free .. than a cosmopolitan slave
I would rather be hungry and free .. than a suckling slave
I would rather be jobless and free ... than a bureaucratic slave.
I would rather be dead and free .. than a subsisting slave.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to your responses.
God Bless <3

Hi, MonsterCookie17!

How about you post here what you've already come up with for the explanations for us to review?

We do help people with homework on this site. But, the keyword here is "help". We don't directly answer homework questions for students here. If we did, how would that be helping them to learn how to come up with the answers themselves?

If you use this site to get help with your homework, please do take some time to come up with and post what you think might be the answers yourself. If you do that, it's likely that you'll have someone very knowledgeable about whatever subject who'll be willing to discuss with you how and why your answers are correct or incorrect.

Please also read the expectations concerning the posting of homework questions that can be found via clicking on the following link.
