text 01:Still I Rise - By Maya Angelou

[...]
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
[...]

 

Text 02:

"On her way to school, Aisha walked with steady steps. She had been mocked many times before, but that morning she held her head high. When her classmates tried to put her down again, she simply moved on, carrying inside her the stories her grandmother used to tell: 'Rise, Aisha. Rise, even when the world tries to bury you.'"

 

Both the poem and the narrative text construct a logical cause-and-effect relationship that reveals the character's persistence in the face of oppression. Considering this relationship, analyze the propositions below:

 

I.No poema, a conjunção "But" em "But still, like dust, I'll rise" estabelece oposição e reforça a causa principal da superação: a tentativa contínua de silenciamento da voz poética.

 

II.O phrasal verb "put down", implícito no texto narrativo, estabelece relação semântica direta com as ações descritas em "You may shoot me with your words" e "You may kill me with your hatefulness" do poema, pois ambas expressam formas simbólicas de violência.

 

III.Em "Leaving behind nights of terror and fear / I rise", a preposição "behind" funciona como marcador temporal para indicar o momento exato em que a superação ocorre, e não necessariamente o abandono metafórico do sofrimento.

 

IV.No texto narrativo, a sequência "mocked → held her head high → moved on" estabelece uma progressão causal coerente com o poema, pois cada ação representa um efeito direto da resiliência ensinada pelos antepassados, tema central do poema de Angelou.
