What different denotations does the title have? What connotations are linked to each of them?
A cross has many denotations but the one's mainly used could be the cross as in what Jesus died on and a mix of two things. This poem really related to the title because the speaker is half black and half white which is a cross of nationalities. Also his parents are dead and it seems like he regrets it because he says he wants to take back the horrible things that he said to his parents. His parents are dead and usually over a grave there is a cross which also relates to the title.
