We real cool is one of the unique poems written by Gwendolyn Brooks. If we see the structure of this poem, it mostly uses subject “we” in all of its stanza. Thus, the emphasize of this poem could be “we” the seven pool players. It emphasizes the unity, togetherness and the identity of the group instead of an individual group.
This poem seems to use the up and down tone. Most of the reader of this poem may think that what this group do is kind of dangerous thing. Even, what they do is not a crime, but it can harm themselves. Yet, in my opinion, this group may think that all they do is cool instead of the dangerous thing.
