Langston Hughes Mother To Be America Again Analysis
Hi Terrell I love responding to your post they are so interesting. I also agree with what you are saying. I haven’t been a child in a long time, but when I was a child, I thought as a child and I understood as a child. I could read those rhyming witty poems and get pleasure from them. The Life of a Cupcake they put me in the oven to bake. Me a deprived and miserable cake. Feeling the heat I started to bubble. Watching the others I knew I was in trouble. This was cute as a child. But it does nothing for me now at this stage of my understanding. But those poems by Langston Hughes Mother to Son, Dreams and Let America be America Again, some of the best I have ever read. I never thought of myself as being into poetry until I read these poems.
Hughes wrote a lot of his poems in early slavery time and when reading his poems you can imagine the dialect of the people speaking as you read them. I can’t leave out the poems by Maya Angelou my favorite two are Still I Rise and Phenomenal Women. These are the kinds of poems that I like they give you food for thought. They read as if they are making a statement and the poet is telling you something. Maya Angelou poems always sound like she is writing from experience. She is writing from what she has experienced or been through and she is using the power of the pen to say it.
