LNERD

this poem was sending me to heaven but when reality told me im still in school and pay attention it bring me back down to school sucks really know how to take away the beauty

Im having a panic attack this poem is beautful but school takes the beauty away from it

Best creation ever, thumbs up.

my poem during my secondary school days. the persona nostalgically is optimistic of one day being in his native land.

I studied this poem at Clarksonville All Age School in Jamaica, " 1995" approximately 29 years ago, I understood it, however I today I REALLY understand what he meant when he said I SHALL RETURN.

I Shall Return is a nostalgic poem that explores the persona optimism of the past. According to him/her, the present predicament does not kill his/her hopes.

I agree........................................

It is my dream to return to my Home Land, something day soon

Anyone who reads poetry 🤬🤬🤬🤬

WHY DOES HE REPEAT I WILL RETURN

I shall return still happens to be my best poem - nostalgic mood I always feel when reciting it.

the poet is saying in his death he will return to do the things he once did before in his afterlife

The poet has a longing or yearning to return to his native country. He reflects on the good times he had with his loved ones watching the forest fires burn, loitering by the streams, participating in native village rituals, like listening to music and dancing. Living in a foreign country he yearned for the things he left behind. The only way to ease the pain of that longing is to return this his native land to relive the things that shaped his life. Things tthat made him who he is. Its a feeling you can identify with only if you have experienced it. The last two lines drive home the point. I shall return, I shall return again, to ease my mind of long long years of pain

It appears that the poet Claude McKay is depicting an individual who has long been in a state of despair and possibly a state of depression in the sence that the individual has been void of laughter, love, a desire to dream/aspire, or merely enjoy so many of the wonderful creations around us in every day life. However it seems he does have one very profound desire for one thing, which is to return to a place where he is free of this long lasting pain he has endured.

Very meaningful words, especially the last two lines.10 points
