Read the following poem and then answer the questions that follow. IF WE MUST DIE By Claude McKay If we must die - let it be not 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 honour us through dead! Oh Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe; Though far outnumbered, let us show our bravery And for their thousand blows one deathblow! 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!
