In the poem “If We Must Die” by Claude McKay, the speaker conveys a courageous tone throughout the passage. Some examples of the speaker setting a courageous tone are in the lines “If we must die, let it not be like hogs” and “If we must die, O let us nobly die” this means that no matter how anyone treats them, if they die, they’re going to die like men with pride and dignity. Also in the line “Though fat outnumbered let us show brave, and for there thousand blows deal one death blow!” this line sets a courageous tone because although they are far outnumbered and the enemies will be much stronger individually, they’re going to come together as one to attack with more intensity then the enemies. The last line that creates a courageous tone is “Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back” this means that they fought to the second that they died, dying bravely and with pride. In this passage a courageous tone was set because the speaker talked about even though the men knew they were highly outnumbered and out powered, they still fought with pride to the death.
