ll. Summary-Write the issues being raised in
the poem
lll. Interpretation and Evaluation
Equality
Maya Angelou
The poem's objective is to express the
author's belief that everyone should be
treated with respect. *Throughout the poem,
the lines "Equality, and I will be free" were
repeated six times.
The author attempts to convey the value of
equality and freedom without segregation,
discrimination, or racism in the poem.
About how some people lack and act
indifferently when it comes to matters like
treating others equally. Others act as if this is
a minor issue; it is not. I have never believed
that everyone in the world is equal. In reality,
there is no equality, only discrimination and
racism.
A. Discuss the style of the author in
presenting the issue
B. Discuss if the author was successful in
persuading the audience regarding the issues
IV. Reflection: How are the issues presented
affect you?
The author captivates the reader with her
message, allowing them to see her words as
visuals. Metaphors, imagery, and repetition
are all used to great effect.
It's safe to conclude that the message the
author was trying to send went through to her
readers because of the author's simple but
appealing method of expressing herself in the
poem. She was able to use words to convey
a message about global prejudice and
racism, which had plainly struck the hearts of
many people.
The poem's subject showed me how serious
this situation is for everyone. Nonetheless, it
made me pleased to think that there are still
nice individuals striving for this kind of life
around the world. A life in which all people
are treated equally and also have complete
freedom.
