"The Sculptor" by Nikki Grimes How does the title of the poem help convey the meaning of the
poem?
O A. by suggesting that the poem is not finished
OB. by suggesting the name of the speaker of the poem
No accident of birth or race or place determines the
scope of hope or dreams I have a right
to. I inventory my head and heart to
weigh and measure what talents I might use to make
my own tomorrow. It all depends on the grit at my
disposal. My father says hard work is the clay dreams
are molded from. Yes. Molded. Dreams do not come.
They are carved, muscled into something solid, something true.
O c. by showing how others shape the speaker like a
sculptor
O D. by showing how the speaker compares herself to a
sculptor
