Deciding whether it is better defined a single, concrete identifier of an individual or is it a collection of many things that one can attribute to somebody.

The tertiary label is how the drug addict does not want to proceed with rehab and accepts…

shifts, and metaphors to point to the fact that society puts demeaning labels on certain groups, which can hurt those groups mentally and physically, because they will do anything to avoid or disprove those labels. In this particular poem, overpride is the reaction to the negative labels that the town is trying to avoid. Imagery is used throughout the poem, to give a feel of some of the things the town does to defy the negative label. One example of…
