Theme For English B
November 16, 2009I have always enjoyed writing and reading poetry. I find each piece to be always unique and everyone has a different interpretation. I like reading between the lines; however, Langston Hughes poem for english B is quit the opposite.
Langston is very straight forward with the way he writes. I feel like he is speaking to me. He begins his poem just describing the assignment and then continues to explain who he is, what he does, and where he goes. I found it interesting how it sometimes would rhyme and at others it would just feel like a conversation.
Langston wraps the poem up nicely by explaining how he is black and his teacher is white but they are BOTH American.
I enjoy Langston Hughes writing style. It is very personable and connects with the audience.
