How does Gorman describe what "being American" is or isn't? Why do you think she describes it in this way? What, if anything, might you change or add to her description?

Answer: As she states in the poem “It’s because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it’s the past we step into” I feel like she describes it in this way in purpose of showing us unity and to remember from what we came from and how we can improve, to learn from out previous mistakes. Simply because we are “American” doesn’t mean we are perfect in any way shape or form, by no means are we the country we can be and will be if we stay united and equal. I personally wouldn’t change any words to her description since it was factual and perfectly stated.

Explanation: Thoughts

Gorman refers to herself as a "skinny Black girl" to stress her commonplaceness.

"It is because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it is the past we step into, "she writes in the poem. I believe she describes it this way to show us unity and to remember where we came from and how we can improve, to learn from our mistakes.

In conclusion, Simply being "American" does not indicate that we are deal in any manner; we are far from being the country we may and will become if we remain united and equal.

In Passage 2, how does the phrase "the city's tumult," (line 3) contrast with the author's observations of the doves?


The overfed people are contrasted with the doves that rely on breadcrumbs for food.


The noise and confusion of the city is contrasted with the peacefulness of the doves.


The isolation of people living lonely lives is contrasted with the socialness of the doves.


The lives of people who must walk and drive on the ground are contrasted with the lives of doves and their ability to fly.
Opposite my chamber window,

On the sunny roof, at play,

High above the city's tumult,

Flocks of doves sit day by day.

Shining necks and snowy bosoms, 5

Little rosy, tripping feet,

Twinkling eyes and fluttering wings,

Cooing voices, low and sweet,--



Graceful games and friendly meetings,

Do I daily watch and see. 10

For these happy little neighbors

Always seem at peace to be.

On my window-ledge, to lure them,

Crumbs of bread I often strew,

And, behind the curtain hiding, 15

Watch them flutter to and fro.



Soon they cease to fear the giver,

Quick are they to feel my love,

And my alms are freely taken

By the shyest little dove. 20

In soft flight, they circle downward,

Peep in through the window-pane;

Stretch their gleaming necks to greet me,

Peck and coo, and come again.



Faithful little friends and neighbors, 25

For no wintry wind or rain,

Household cares or airy pastimes,

Can my loving birds restrain.

Other friends forget, or linger,

But each day I surely know 30

That my doves will come and leave here

Little footprints in the snow.


So, they teach me the sweet lesson,

That the humblest may give

Help and hope, and in so doing, 35

Learn the truth by which we live;

For the heart that freely scatters

Simple charities and loves,

Lures home content, and joy, and peace,

Like a soft-winged flock of doves. 40
