Revised blog post third quarter


In the poem America the speaker loves and hates America because America makes life difficult.  In the poem it talks about how it can be hard to make a living. 
  For example in the poem “she feeds me bread of bitterness, And sinks into my throat her tigers tooth.”  This means America helps keep the speaker alive but it is hard to make a living.
            Although it’s hard to make it in America the speaker still loves it.  In the poem the speaker shows respect to America even thought it’s hard to make a living.  For example in the poem it says “I sand with her walls with not a shred of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.”  This means she does not break the rules and does not break them and she has resect for America.  Also it means that they would not hesitate to help out her country.
            In the poem it is hard for the speaker to make a living.  I know this because in the poem it says “like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.”  This means everything you worked for has been taking away.  Another example of this is in the poem it says “and sinks into my throat like a tigers tooth stealing my breath of life.”  This means America is making it hard to survive.
            In America it can be ease or hard for people to make it in America.  In the poem it talks about how everything the is being taken away.  Also America keeps them alive by providing for them.
