Can someone plz rewire this answer in another way plz plz

3. Reflect on the Langston Hughes poem Silence. Identify some evidence in the poem that explains OR describes something about main character Ned. Include specific evidence from the text. Write 3-4 sentences.


Answer: In the Code Talker Ned was a navajos and he wanted to learn about white people culture, language, but I think Ned didn’t know how to speak in english, so I think he decided to become a code talker. In the poem it says, I catch the pattern of your silences before you speak, which means he didn’t know white’s people language to learn about them but he still was successful in his work. For example, Ned is a Navajo Indian who is very intelligent. He loves to study and would like to be a teacher when he grows up. Instead he is planning on fighting in the war. Ned becomes a Marine at age 16 and he becomes a Code Talker.

Answer:

Ned was a 'Nevajos' and he wanted to learn about the white people's culture and language. Because he couldn't speak English, Ned decided to be a code talker. From the poem, we can see where he said "I catch the pattern of your silences, before you speak" which indicates that as much as he was not able to learn the white man's language, he was still able to communicate and deal with them. Ned is a very intelligent Nevajo Indian who loves to study hard because he had dreams of becoming a teacher when he grows up, in the stead of his dreams, he plans to go fight in the war and finally becomes a Marine and a code talker at age 16.
