Life Is Fine By Langston Hughes Rhyme Scheme
In the Langston Hughes poem “Life is Fine” he talks about how there might be things that get in the way of your goal or dream but that you have to get through it. The poem’s structure, in my opinion is dramatic. In Life is Fine Hughes is expressing himself the only way black men could in 1949.
Hughes uses end rhyme in Life is Fine. The rhyme scheme is ABCB. An example is in stanza 1 “I went down to the river, I set down on the river bank, I tried to think but couldn’t, so I jumped in and sank”. Hughes also uses extended metaphor. His whole poem is one long metaphor for how life is hard for him and he’s gonna get through it. An example is in stanza 5, Hughes says “So since I’m still here living, I guess I’ll live on. I could’ve died for love-But
