what is the theme in "A 400 Year Old Woman"​

The Negro Mother - Poem by Langston Hughes
1 Children, I come back today
To tell you a story of the long dark way
That I had to climb, that I had to know
In order that the race might live and grow.
5 Look at my face - dark as the night -
Yet shining like the sun with love's true light.
I am the dark girl who crossed the red sea
Carrying in my body the seed of the free.
I am the woman who worked in the field
10 Bringing the cotton and the corn to yield.
I am the one who labored as a slave,
Beaten and mistreated for the work that I gave -
Children sold away from me, I'm husband sold, too.
No safety, no love, no respect was I due.
15 Three hundred years in the deepest South:
But God put a song and a prayer in my mouth.
God put a dream like steel in my soul.
Now, through my children, I'm reaching the goal.
Now, through my children, young and free,
20 I realized the blessing deed to me.
I couldn't read then. I couldn't write.
I had nothing, back there in the night.
Sometimes, the valley was filled with tears,
But I kept trudging on through the lonely years.
25 Sometimes, the road was hot with the sun,
But I had to keep on till my work was done:
I had to keep on! No stopping for me -
I was the seed of the coming Free.
I nourished the dream that nothing could smother
30 Deep in my breast - the Negro mother.
I had only hope then, but now through you,
Dark ones of today, my dreams must come true:
All you dark children in the world out there,
Remember my sweat, my pain, my despair.
35 Remember my years, heavy with sorrow -
And make of those years a torch for tomorrow.
Make of my pass a road to the light
Out of the darkness, the ignorance, the night.
Lift high my banner out of the dust.
40 Stand like free men supporting my trust.
Believe in the right, let none push you back.
Remember the whip and the slaver's track.
Remember how the strong in struggle and strife
Still bar you the way, and deny you life -
45 But march ever forward, breaking down bars.
Look ever upward at the sun and the stars.
Oh, my dark children, may my dreams and my prayers
Impel you forever up the great stairs -
For I will be with you till no white brother
50 Dares keep down the children of the Negro Mother.

Read the excerpt from Rudolfo Anaya’s essay “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”

Tortillas and poetry. They go hand in hand. Books nourish the spirit, bread nourishes our bodies. Our distinct cultures nourish each one of us, and as we know more and more about the art and literature of the different cultures, we become freer and freer. . . .

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to sample different ethnic foods, the breads of many many groups; just as many of us enjoy sampling books from different areas of the world. I travel to foreign countries, and I know more about myself as I learn more about my fellow human beings. Censorship imposes itself in my path of knowledge, and that activity can be justified by no one.

Which choice best describes the purpose of this text?
to persuade readers to oppose the censorship of literature
to inform readers about censorship in a specific country
to entertain readers with stories about censorship
to motivate readers to speak out against censorship

Do pageants show a woman's true beauty? Pageants are too exploitative because pageants utilize the standard that judges and society have given to the definition of beauty. Most pageants promote low self-esteem, force women into specific demographics, and send the wrong message.
Many Pageants focus on makeup, hair, gowns, swimsuit modeling, and personal interviews. Despite all the makeup they wear they still might not feel beautiful. A study made by Statistic Brain Research saw that 8 of 10 underage girls that have been in pageants in the U.S. have been on a diet. Forty-two percent of the girls who were on a diet wanted to be thinner. People who entered into the pageants claimed that they are only there because they want to feel loved and beautiful, but sometimes they think less of themselves and try to change themselves hoping it will make them loved and beautiful.
Not only does it lower self-esteem but it also forces them into specific demographics. Most pageant now require a contestant to be 5’7 or taller. According to News 18 most contestants on Miss America, Miss Earth, Miss Universe, and Miss World have a waist of 60 centimeters.The average woman is 97.03 centimeters. This makes the contestant do a lot of surgery or not eat anything in a day. Not only that but 93% of all Miss USA winners have either brown or blonde hair. If a contestant has ginger or black hair they will try to change their hair color just so they can win a crown or title.
Pageants show an unrealistic view of how a person is supposed to look. Pageants also show that to be beautiful you have to have to have the perfect body, hair, make up, and the perfect smile. This shows the younger generation that someone with all those qualities is beautiful and that there is only one type of beauty. It also shows that beauty goes over intelligence and talent.
To summarize, pageants are mentally and physically draining. Pageants are based on outer appearance and not what's inside. It also allows women to second guess their beauty that they have. Pageants have harmful effects like depression, or desires to become more “beautiful”. Although pageants show confidence it does not show the whole story.
