However, if you prefer to work on a different poem, it's a good idea to read through the entire instructions for this activity first to ensure that you choose a poem that is appropriate in length and complexity for the essay you'll be submitting. Which poem did you choose, and what influenced your selection

Answer and Explanation:

When I was born, I black

When I grow up, I black

When I go to Sun, I black

When I scared, I black

When I sick, I black

And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow

When you are born, your pink

When you grow up, you white

When you go into the sun, you're red

When you are cold, your blue

When you were scared, you yellow

When you sick, you're green

And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored?

It is considered to be the best poem of 2006. This poem was nominate by the UN, as the best poem of 2006. It was written by an African kid who wrote in a very simple language. But the idea this poem is portraying is worth appreciating.

I like African literature because it portrays how they have been marginalized. And they are still facing these traumatic situations just because of their color. And this situation gave them a wide ground to write their stories in their own words.  When we talk about African literature we are talking about a whole race that has been manipulated and being deadly treated. And it has left its scars on this race which cannot be undone. The damage is done and there is no way back to it. They have been tortured, not only physically, but mentally too.

So I would rather prefer to choose this poem because of the vast study it gives in its background.

i will have to go with 1.

hope this !

oral reading is important because then you may end up loving to read if you hate it now. i hope i .
