Take up the White Man’s burden
Send forth the best ye breed
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives’ need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.
According to the poet, the “burden” that the White man must take on is
Take up the White Man’s burden
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest,
the end for others sought
Watch sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.
As stated in the poem, what are two positive things that the White man will do for the natives? (Select TWO)
Take up the White Man’s burden
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard
Take up the White Man’s burden
Have done with childish days
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!
Will the natives be grateful towards the White man? Explain why or why not under "Show Your Work."
