   emotions in each stanza.                    .
   It adds more effect.                        .

What’s the message?

    Although the author is living in a tough age
•

    for black women, she is able to endure them
    by her great confidence and hope.

    From her poem, we can learn that no matter
    what situation you are in, there’s always
    hope.
