Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie [SEP] Themes
Angelou uses rhyme and repetition throughout all her works, yet rhyme is only found in seven of the poems in "Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie"; critic Lyman B. Hagen calls her use of rhythm "rather ordinary and unimaginative". Death is an important theme throughout many of Angelou's works, especially in "Caged Bird", which opens with it and, according to scholar Liliane K. Arensberg, is resolved at the book's end, when her son is born. Death is directly mentioned in 19 of the 38 poems in "Diiie". According to scholar Yasmin Y. DeGout, many of the poems in "Diiie", along with those in Angelou's second volume "Oh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well", "lack the overt empowerment themes of her later, better known works", especially "And Still I Rise" (1978) and "I Shall Not Be Moved" (1990).
