Writing Exercise #2 The essay ‘Salvation” by Langston Hughes was the essay I connected with most. The religious aspect if it enticed me to read further. To me it was ironic that Hughes titled the essay “Salvation” when in fact it seemed young 12-year-old Hughes had become more lost than before going to the revival.
