In "Sympathy," why does Dunbar repeat the phrase "I know" throughout the poem? O to emphasize his own desire to be free like a bird
to emphasize his understanding of the harsh effects of racism on individuals
to illustrate that he understands the bird's loneliness
to highlight the way that long-term physical imprisonment affects individuals

what is a theme?

so, the only theme of "birdfoot's grampa" by joseph bruchuc is that as a human being one should always remember the value of every life on earth.

the grampa is stopping the car again and again to save those little toads from washing away in the heavy rain is an act of kindness and humanity.

just took the test;

argument: "it's time to wage a war against britain to secure american freedom."

claims: "america has tried every peaceful method available for seperating from england" & "the americans' petitions to the king have been turned away by him."
