I believe that this is imagery
In the poem it talks about us as people not having the choices we think we should or believe we should have. My theme statement is that maybe sometimes what we expect we should have isnt always going to be for us .The poem talks about choices and on top of that going into further research, Giovanni created this poem right after her father died. The poem basically is saying that we don't have the choices we think we should have or believe but we know that life is short.
If you mean reading skills then read daily for 20-30 minutes, practice is the most important factor. If you do not know how to pronounce any word then search it on youtube. Read out loud near your friends and family members to improve it.
