Show transcript
The subject of the poem is likely the speaker’s relative. The speaker implies that the subject felt is necessary to hide their regional dialect. The speaker is trying to keep the dialect alive by recreating it. Arguably, Berry’s intention is to suggest the importance of accents to identity.
