The correct answer is option letter A. The poem “It’s This Way” by the Turkish poet Nazim Hikmet reflects a soulful humanistic theme. After facing several incidents in his life, such as his imprisonment, Hikmet traveled from Turkey to Romania and then moved to Russia. While he lived there, he thought about a different poetry, a new kind of poetry. Hikmet changed his attitude towards human relations and events and humanism became one of the characteristics of his works. The poet included some basic concerns of people such as the meaning of life, death, and sadness. In the poem “It’s This Way”, Hikmet expresses his desire for living and not giving up his principles by keeping the focus on the future, even though his life is complicated. A clear example of this idea of living is expressed in the following clauses: “being captured is beside the point, the point is not to surrender”.
