    The poem "If We Must Die" by Claude McKay is a sonnet because 1) It has fourteen lines, 2) There is a change of thought between lines 8 and 9. The thought changed from a dark description of the wrong way to die to a call for people to die with dignity. 3) It has a rhyme scheme (A,B,A,B,C,D,C,D,E,F,E,F,G,G). 4) It only has one couplet that rhymes. "Like men we'll face the cowardly pack/Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!" 5) Each line has ten syllables.

    "If We Must Die" by Claude Mckay shows a striking resemblance to part of MLKs "I Have a Dream" Speech. While reading " We cannot walk alone. And as we walk,we must pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back." I couldn't help but think of this poem."Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!" In this poem he talks about how death is death and even if they cannot escape death, staying together will make them strong even after they're slain.MLK speaks of the same thing, they can all have the same aspiration to have equality,but if they do not stand up together nothing will be changed. MLK would have never been able to change the country without the support of millions on his side. This is true with many leaders who gain their power by grouping people and being the figure head of their change.

    In MLK's Speech MLK talks about the "White Only" signs. This is also similar to Langston Hughes story "One Friday Morning." In "One Friday Morning", Nancy Lee has this talented beautiful water color painting however she cannot win the award because the award is for non-colored people or you can call it "White Only." Both of them have experience the same type of segregation, being labeled as color for pointless reasons, whether using a bathroom to winning an art reward. More towards the end MLK says "With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day." which is very similar to Nancy Lee's final thought "This is the land we must make." Both of them have felt the same type of segregation, and both want to make a change in America.
