    Personally for me ‚ I felt more similarly to the Langston Hughes essay. The era the essay is written from might be another reason since it is more modern and easier to relate. Compared to the Gates essay it was easier to wrap my head around it. I was able to dissect the essay and see the true meaning you could say. The wording Huge used was also more modern and easier to understand. From my point of view I felt Hughes put more of his focus on the importance of culture. He wanted the present day
