Answer Details
The use of 'we' in Odia Ofeimuun's poem "We Must Learn Again to Fly" gives the poem a universal appeal. By using 'we', the speaker is addressing a collective group of people, rather than a specific individual, race, or gender. This suggests that the message of the poem is not limited to a particular group but applies to all human beings. The use of 'we' creates a sense of inclusivity and a shared experience, making it easier for readers to relate to the poem's themes and message. Therefore, the answer to this question is the 'universal appeal.'
