Langston Hughes: Historical Perspective The two poems that I chose to write about are “The Negro Mother” and “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes. Both of these poems are about a mother speaking to her children and speaking of the hard times that she has been through in the past. If we read these poems it’s very much telling us about history and the things that black people had to endure back in the days. Many people can view it as her speaking to her children or to her son directly but I see it as

in public school but in college speaking as if they have no intelligence. I am only a freshman and I cannot count the number of times I’ve heard other freshmen and upperclassmen use grammatically incorrect phrases like‚ “what that is” and “I ain’t goin nowhere”. Speech like this amongst my African American peers only angered me in high school‚ now it depresses me. It is depressing to see so many educated African Americans speak as if they had dropped out of high school‚ just because it is “cool”

Ralph‚ as a leader‚ should have been quicker and more able to take action in the beginning of their arrival at the island. I think that maybe if Ralph had taken action quicker‚ and was more firm‚ then things wouldn’t have spiraled out of control into this. Ralph must feel horrible‚ since he was elected chief at first.

Abstract This investigation will show how rap and punk music shouldn’t be considered hoodlum music. There is no set definition for a way music is supposed to be. “One of the most difficult art forms to define‚ music is also one of the most admired art forms.” (Buzzle 2015) Music shouldn’t be looked down upon because mass media has made a mockery of both genres. The problem is that people often denounce the music before even listening to them music. This is important because all forms of music should
