S – Sorrow P – My Sorrow‚ when she’s here with me‚ Thinks these dark Autumn days full of rain Are the most beautiful kinds of days; She loves the withered‚ bare trees She walks the wet pasture trail Her pleasure will not let me stay. She speaks and I am happy to listen: She is glad the birds have left She is glad her simple worsted grey Is silver now with clinging mist. The barren‚ deserted trees‚ The faded earth‚ the heavy sky‚ The beauties she so truly sees‚ She thinks I cannot truly

The first segment being the character‚ whos point of view the poem is from‚ writing a letter to the countryman he/she (probably male but cant be certain) met down the Lachlan because he/she wants to see how his life is going in comparison.

This in turn meant that I had to thoroughly review the literature on this particular historical episode‚ which will form the basis of this blog. 2. The usual version of how

The 1920’s are primarily remembered as the age of jazz music‚ “new women”‚ prohibition‚ huge cars‚ and business development. However‚ many American’s remember the time as an age of dramatic social and political change. For many‚ this time brought more conflict than celebration as is referenced in a poem named “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes.

This poem significantly conveys the idea of corruption both physical and emotional.

2- The first time reading this poem‚ I got through the first stanza easily‚ but started to have more trouble when beginning to read the second stanza. What I gathered by my first reading‚ is that there are men going somewhere because they have to‚ and their loved ones do not want them to go. 3- To understand this poem better after reading allowed‚ I had to look up the definition of a number of words. Sigh-tempests- this is a hyperbole and exaggeration similar to the phrase "cry me a river" Trepidation-
