For many, feelings such as these are far too common, and this quote reflects some of the emotional difficulties of being an immigrant in America. This country was built on the ideals of freedom and equality.…

    Through the use of his poem, “The Weary Blues,” Langston expands on the insurmountable abyss that lies between the common American and the disgruntled black man. The Blues, as Langston described them, was music that incorporated laughter with disaster. While the rhythms would cry out for help and understanding, the lyrics would merrily wave the rhythm’s serious tone away. And yet, the blues were never truly realized by the listeners unless they had previously experienced similar situations and were able to understand what the singers had gone through. In addition, the blues also influenced the form in which Hughes’s poems were written and dictated the length for each line.…

    Poetry plays a role in politics that is often overlooked by the personalities patrolling today’s political battlefield. In prior eras, poetry took a more obvious and up-front role in politics. Poetry influenced some of the most powerful movements throughout American history— perhaps most clearly seen during the Civil Rights movement. Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes became a role model for Martin Luther King that grew from their similar background and heritage. King’s writing process for “I have a Dream,” looked to Hughes poetry for inspiration.…

In I Hear America Singing (1860), Walt Whitman conveys his concept of America as a unified nation. His poem explores the differing sort of people that Whitman contributes to creating America. They are exuberant, and strong. Although the poem is focused on the people, the title of the poem, I Hear America Singing, shows that Whitman thinks of these people as ‘America.’…

    “America” is often seen as the land of equality and opportunity. Langston Hughes tackles this idea in “Theme for English B,” in which the African American speaker recognizes that “You [my instructor] are white – yet a part of me, as I am a part of you. That’s American” (Hughes 1045). Here, the intangible racial issue is apparent, although America itself is presented to be a land of awe, as it simultaneously molds these races into one. Hughes, an African American, chooses not to dwell on the negativity of the racial divide of the American people at the time his piece was written but instead chooses to use it as an opportunity to validate the speaker as one piece that makes America the great, diverse land he believes it to be.…
