Martin Luther King p. 28

• What is the essence of Martin Luther King's dream?
• He demands racial justice and an integrated society. He hopes that one day all people will be like brothers and sisters in a world governed by equality, justice and peace.
• What purpose does the speech serve?
• The speech tries to unite people and give them hope of a better future.
  

Amanda Gorman p. 34

• What might the hill from the title symbolize?
• The hill refers to gradual progress (socially and politically). Climbing a hill is usually slow, could be difficult, it takes time to reach the top.
• What might the poet mean by 'in the belly of the beast'?
• A dangerous situation, such as the 9/11 attacks or the Capitol Hill riots.
• 'We've learned that quiet isn't always peace, and the norms and notions of what just is isn't always just-ice'
• This is about the danger of settling and accepting the current climate. We need to fight for our beliefs and try to make a change for the better.
  

Amanda Gorman p. 35

• What is the tone of the poem?
  
• Hopeful, the US is a work in progress. It is not broken, but just unfinished. The light also refers to hope, something to work towards.
• References to iconic American Literature:
• Maya Angelou - Still I Rise and Martin Luther King - I Have a Dream ('forge a union with a purpose').
  
• What is the message of the poem?
  
• Unite, take action: ‘leave behind a country better than the one we were left with' (similar to Martin Luther King's speech).
  

Amanda Gorman p. 35
