Answer: It is a figurative space where he will explore the question of his of his identity.

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from a poem written by Langston Hughes, "Theme for English B."

In the poem, the speaker is given a task from his teacher. He should write a page about himself - the page needs to be true. He begins this assignment by writing that he is twenty-two, born in Winston-Salem, and that he is "colored" - apparently the only colored student in the class. As he writes about himself, he realizes it is hard to know what is true at his age. He gradually addresses certain philosophical questions -"So will my page be colored that I write?" Apart from the assignment he needs to complete, the page becomes a place for the speaker to explore his identity.
