In “A black man talks of reaping” Bontemps describes that no matter how hard blacks work in the fields they don’t benefit from their toil. Which lines from the poem best convey his thought?
A. I have sown beside all waters in my day/ I planted deep within my heart the fear
B. That wind or fowl would take the grain away / I planted safe against this stark , lean year
C. But for my reaping only what the hand/ can hold at once is all that I can show
D. I scattered seed enough to plant the land/ in rows from Canada to Mexico
