In the poem "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks, the speaker is a collective voice of a group of young pool players who hang out at a bar called the Golden Shovel. We know that they are rebels who have dropped out of school, and who enjoy living dangerously and recklessly.They are proud of their lifestyle, but they also hint at their own mortality and vulnerability.
The kind of person that the speaker is can be inferred from the words and tone of the poem. The speaker uses a simple and rhythmic language, with short sentences and repeated sounds, to create a sense of confidence and coolness. The speaker also uses irony and contrast, by juxtaposing the positive verbs (such as "sing" and "jazz") with the negative nouns (such as "sin" and "June") and the final line "We Die soon". The speaker is a person who is defiant, adventurous, and playful, but also aware of the consequences and costs of their choices.
