How does McKay develop the theme of "America"? What is his conclusion of the sonnet?

English

lions [1.4K]2 years ago

McKay develops the theme of "America" by showing how the narrator's relationship with his country is personal rather than abstract. McKay creates tension by showing how even though America feeds, or nourishes the narrator, it is with "bread of bitterness." The narrator admits that even though America steals his "breath of life," he still loves it. This contradiction is inherent to the theme: that what harms the narrator about his relationship with America is also what makes him stronger. Yet the narrator's conclusion is that the seemingly mighty future of America is in danger of disappearing "like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."

According to Madison, what is the danger that a faction poses to good government?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
It acts in its own interests, not the people's interests. And this is a fundamental elemental that has to exist within a democratic republic, according to Madison. It is necessary to tolerate those that have other ideas and who are acting in their own self interest, but hopefully the democratic process will diminish or decrease the effect of extreme wants of a faction.
