How does the use of alliteration and other forms of repetition gwendolyn brooks develop her themes in “speech to the young: speech to progress—toward”?

Poem by Brooks.

‘Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward’ is a beautiful poem written by Gwendolyn Brooks which addresses the young people to pay no attention to the negative comments and to live their life, which is also the main theme of the poem.

The poem consists of two stanza. The first stanza is about the other people (them), whereas the second stanza is about us (you). In the second stanza the poet have used Alliteration and Anaphora by repeating the word ‘Live’ at the beginning if every line.

The repetition of the words puts an emphasis on the theme to ‘Live in the along’, which means to live in the present.

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.

the answer is they believed george iii would never give them their freedom.
