Read this passage from "the city without us" by alan weisman: in new york, the european starling—now a ubiquitous avian pest from alaska to mexico—was introduced because someone thought the city would be more cultured if central park were home to each bird mentioned in shakespeare. next came a central park garden with every plant in the bard's plays, sown with the lyrical likes of primrose, wormwood, lark's heel, eglantine, and cowslip—everything short of  macbeth's  birnam wood. what does weisman's word choice  most  clearly suggest about his feelings on the introduction of new species of birds and plants to central park?   a. he describes central park as "lyrical" and "cultured" to boast about new york's being a center of culture.  b. he credits shakespeare for inspiring the introduction of the new species to show his disdain for them.  c. he uses the word "ubiquitous" to show that the starling has become well known in the united states.  d. he uses the words "pest" and "everything short of" to ridicule the introduction of the new species.

The harlem renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. although legally "free," many african americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries. identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the harlem renaissance. furthermore, the values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. as hughes expresses in "dream variations," all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. what role does freedom play in the poems you read in this unit? what is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity? write about at least three of the poems, describing how the poet uses imagery to depict freedom and identity, the lack of it, or the desire for it.
