Take up the White Man's burden- Send forth the best ye breed- Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need; To wait in heavy harness, On fluttered folk and wild- Your new-caught, sullen peoples, Half-devil and half-child. —Rudyard Kipling, "The White Man's Burden" Which lines in this excerpt show ethnocentrism? Take up the White Man’s burden–/Send forth the best ye breed– Go bind your sons to exile/To serve your captives’ need; To serve your captives’ needs;/To wait in heavy harness, Your new-caught, sullen peoples,/Half-devil and half-child.

explanation:

this quote could be referring to the death penalty. it's questioning the morality of sentencing murderers to death as a punishment, because it seems hypocritical. this quote seems to be arguing for non-lethal punishment for killers.

many battles and wars (such as the one at gettysburg), are commemorated by statues or monuments, with some areas preserved as monuments and national parks. do you think this contradicts the message of "grass"? in at least 200 words, explain your thinking and cite evidence from the poem to support your opinion.
