Pliers to be rearranged to be meaning danger

[D] A motivator who encourages readers to fight oppression

Explanation:

If we must die—let it not be like hogs

Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,

While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,

Making their mock at our accursed lot.

If we must die—oh, let us nobly die,

So that our precious blood may not be shed

In vain; then even the monsters we defy

Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!

The speaker's attitude in the poem is uplifting and encouraging. He is using this tone to motivate and encourage readers to fight oppression.

Oppression is prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control, or the state of being subject to unjust treatment or control.

He is telling the readers to fight back, and even if we lose we won't go down without a fight, and we will go down nobly and not for nothing.
