The essay Salvation written by Langston
Hughes is a great example of someone being disappointed in the outcome of a situation.The essay is about Langston at the age of thirteen who goes to his aunt's church to
experience the act of being saved and receiving the Holy Ghost; however, Langston is not saved at his aunt's church. Hughes aunt had told him what to expect when you are saved.When you are saved, you see a light and something inside you happens. She said you could feel Jesus in your soul. Therefore, while at church Langston sat waiting for Jesus to come to him. Soon all the Young sinners went up to the alter to be saved. Langston
however just kept waiting to see the light, waiting for Jesus to come to him. Jesus never came to Langston that night in the church filled with a crowd of sinners who had just been saved.The longer he sat there waiting the more uncomfortable and frustrated he became. All of the members of the congregation were waiting for Langston to come to
the alter to become saved.
Langston already feeling disappointment and distress in him self wanted to save his aunt from the same displeasure he was feeling.
