Literary Stylistics and the Creation of Weariness in “The Weary Blues” This paper will focus to use the relative knowledge of literary stylistics, deviation and foregrounding to analyze Langston Hughes’s poem “The Weary Blues”, and use strong evidence from the poem to support the argument of Hughes’s use of literary stylistics to create and highlight the sentimental elements of weary in this poem. The weary sentimental elements are significant to the theme of this poem. Blues is the music in America which testimony the history of black people’s rough and bumpy life experiences. Blues music is plaintive and sad; it is the music of black people’s melancholy. So in The Weary Blues, Hughes combined this sad music with a very tired black singer, hence to express the weary feeling of black people after the long history of slavery and oppression. Just like the title tells us, this poem has an emotional tone contains a sense of sadness. And deserve to be mentioned is that Langston Hughes has used a series of words and phrases, specifically speaking, he used the meaning, rhythm and many other approaches to pass on this weary and sad sentiment. And my paper is going to investigate how Langston Hughes expressed this mood through literary stylistics in The Weary Blues. Since linguistic criticism is used in text analysis; it concentrates on the connections between language choices and the social world (Malmkjaer 1), I am using the linguistic theory as the criticism to argue the…

writing activity, we had a terrific start. Mikel shared that his last name contains an r-controlled vowel. So, it was a joyous moment to hear that he retained the information I taught him during our last session. However, this assignment tugged on my heart in a different way. When I shared my excitement with Mikel’s reading specialist about our writing session, she shared the countless blank pages in his journal, explaining that Mikel struggles to write.

a different way from us. John McWhorter in his interview on the podcast "The Shifting Meanings of Our Evolving Modern Language," comments on this and explains that a word is not something that is, but rather a process. An inevitable process of morphing. He says: "language is something that always change. It is not that it will change in a way that it will have new words for new things, and new words coming from other language only. But, even the boring vanilla part of the language is always…

As many teachers search for new strategies and interventions to address the lack of fluency within their reading programs, Repeated Reading (RR) appears to be a topic of curiosity. RR is an evident based strategy designed to increase reading fluency and comprehension through the development of automatic word processing and contextualized linguistic effect (Winter, 2007).

those literacies affected me in the same way that my third language did. At 15 years old, I became obsessed with the Japanese language. I remember picking up a self-teaching book at Chapters and devouring it chapter by chapter, and the more I knew, the more I craved to know more. However, it was never my plan to learn to write in Japanese. I found their writing system beautiful, to be sure; but not to the point of dedicating myself to learning over two thousand characters spanning over three…

In the poem, “ Totally like whatever, you know,” author Taylor Mali says, “ In case hadn’t noticed, it has somehow become uncool to sound like…

My mother was very surprised, but instead of helping me write a letter, she told me that I need to create a foundation first. At that time, I did not what she meant by creating a foundation. But I quickly found out that creating a foundation meant that I would have to go through hours of learning how to write and read the alphabet. At first, I was very excited to learn the alphabet and finally get to write my letter. My mother brought out a book, where you had to trace the letter. As a child,…
