In Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem "Away," the structure, characterized by its repetitive refrain of longing for escape, illustrates a deep yearning for freedom and a better life. The use of consistent stanza lengths and rhythmic cadence emphasizes the speaker's persistent desire to be free from the constraints of their current situation, reinforcing the emotional intensity of their longing.

The three types of figurative language in the poem are simile ("Fast as a cheetah"), personification ("The wind sings words of support"), and imagery (the depiction of running through the field).
The personification of the wind singing words of support creates an uplifting and encouraging atmosphere, enhancing the sense of freedom and vitality that accompanies the speaker's swift movement.

Both Rebecca’s father and Sojourner Truth are influential in the play, but neither of them appears. In 2 sentences, draw conclusions about why the playwright did not include these characters in the play’s action.
The absence of both Rebecca’s father and Sojourner Truth in the play’s action highlights the theme of their influence through their ideas and legacies rather than through direct involvement, allowing the focus to remain on the characters who are actively engaging with their beliefs. By not including them on stage, the playwright emphasizes the impact of their historical significance and the way their philosophies continue to resonate with the characters’ struggles and choices.
