Which theme describes the main theme of the poem resisting arrest by kyle dargan ?

Police brutality and the numberless arrests of African Americans

Explanation:

The main theme of 'Poem resisting arrest' is police violence of African Americans.

Using the metaphor of the poem for African American people, Dargan explains the events and feelings that his people go through every day. With the lines such as "It has the right to remain either bruised or silent", he uses what we know about police and the brutality to bring us closer to when African American person goes through facing the police officer. He – or in this case, the poem – knows he will be guilty, that he is powerless, so he is turning numb and slowly becomes one of the many.

Dargan uses the poem and the metaphor to explain how African Americans resist arrest and police brutality.

At the core, he is using the poem and poetry as the means of the resistance without being found guilty.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
