PLEASE HELP What is your central claim? From your central claim, what could be strong arguments that support the opposite side of your central claim?

Hello. Your question is incomplete and more information is needed to answer it. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The question asks what is your central claim, but does not present the subject to which the claim should be made. However, a central claim represents your opinion and your absolute position on an issue. In that case, in order to answer that question, you must first identify the subject matter and show your opinion on it. That view is the central claim.

The opposite side of the central claim is a claim contrary to yours, which challenges everything you have addressed in your opinion and provides evidence that your opinion is incorrect. In this case, to answer the second question, you must identify the arguments and statements that are capable of questioning the veracity and relevance of your opinion, that is, you must try to show the arguments that would state that you are wrong.

when cullen speaks of planting while others reap, and standing "abject and mute," he is speaking about the racial injustices present in american society. as these injustices have changed over time, the american identity  has also shifted. those changes are, in turn, reflected in american literature."
