Read the poem “if we must die” by claude mckay. if we must die—let it not be like hogs hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, while round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, making their mock at our accursed lot. if we must die—oh, let us nobly die so that our precious blood may not be shed in vain; then even the monsters we defy shall be constrained to honor us though dead! oh, kinsmen! we must meet the common foe; though far outnumbered, let us still be brave, and for their thousand blows deal one death-blow! what though before us lies the open grave? like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack, pressed to the wall, dying, but—fighting back! what sentence best conveys the speaker’s message?

I believe the sentence that best conveys the speaker’s message is: “If we must die—oh, let us nobly die”

 In his poem “If We Must Die”, Claude McKay, a Jamaican-American poet, conveys a message that there is honor in dying courageously in fight for the civil rights of the African-American people, and therefore, he states that they should be willing to die for them. He believed that African-American people should only rely on themselves and expect no help from the white people.

the author is showing that it is the insatisfaction of basic needs that brings about the protests such as the strikes.if workers do not earn enough to buy food and feed their families and themselves in order to continue working, what is the use of working? besides, another message from the author is that of the owners of factories should be worried about ensuring their furure by having a second and third generation of workers in their industries.if they do not hear the workers demands, they will not have any more workers to make their pockets full.
