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

English
1 answer:
lions [1.4K]2 years ago
7 0

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."

How do Monsieur Hamel's actions contribute to the development of both the theme and main idea within the story?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Monsieur Hamel's actions contribute to the development of both the theme and main idea within the story because he wants to show the students that no matter the circumstances, they should remember to not let the lessons they've learned go to waste.

In paragraph 30, it states,

"Thereupon he turned to the blackboard, took a piece of chalk, and, bearing on with all his might, he wrote in the largest letters he could: “VIVE LA FRANCE!”

Monsieur Hamel does not want the students to feel discouraged about the new life that they'll be forced into. He wants them to not forget everything and for them to continue learning French.
