Dream boogie

Dream Boogie is a very confusing poem that makes us think what it is really happening inside that “house”. In my opinion this poem presents a situation between a father and his son. It began with his son waking up and asking to his father if he heard the noise inside the house that is getting harder and harder. The kid describes the sound with the words “boogie-woogie“, and he make his father listen to it. The father tries to make him relax by taking it like a joke, “Ain’t you heard something underneath” trying to freak his son out. The kid remark him that he heard sometime and he did not pay much attention. The father try to take away the sound by saying “Hey, pop!, Re-bop!, Mop! and he keep doing what he was doing before.Literature is the art of written work and can; in some circumstance can cause issues like different emotions, thoughts, imagination about a particular literary work. Readers tend to form their own opinion about what they are reading. An author expects criticisms and opinions about their work, one may not truly know what the author may think and fill when they are writing their piece. Writing is an art, it tells a story, like a painting tells a story. Writing is how the author is feeling or what the author has experienced.

When growing up my grandmother use to tell me about Langston Hughes and how he is one of the greatest poets of all times. “Hughes is one of the most influential African-American poets, drawing from the experiences of his life for his writing” (Glantz, S. (2007). “Dream Boogie” by Langston Hughes (1951) caught my attention because how he uses his flow of words to describe what he actually means in what he is saying. I had to read this poem a couple of times to get an understanding in what he was actually saying. That is a strong reason why I was drawn to this poem due to its hidden meaning. I like a challenge and seek deeper understanding as I analyze an author’s work. Some of Langston's poems can leave you with
