James Baldwin’s 1953 novel‚ “Go Tell It on the Mountain‚” about a Harlem teenager’s search for meaning‚ quickly became a classic‚ along with his searing essays about race published a decade later in the book “The Fire Next Time.” But in recent years Baldwin’s presence has diminished in many high school classrooms. In a year that marks the 90th anniversary of his birth‚ educators offer different reasons for Baldwin’s faded presence there‚ from the concern that he is too controversial and complex

The importance of a poem does not always come in its meaning. William Carlos Williams illustrates this in his work‚ “The Great Figure.” Being an extremely short story about a man seeing a fire truck speed past him on a gloomy night‚ the actual story leaves readers searching for more. Acting almost as a piece of rebellion against more traditional poetry‚ Williams is able to take the focus away from the physical meaning of the poem and make readers focus on the careful structural choices he made.

The short story “Araby” is clearly identifiable as the work of James Joyce. His vocalized ambition of acquainting fellow Irish natives with the true temperament of his homeland is apparent throughout the story. Joyce’s painstakingly precise writing style can be observed throughout “Araby” as well. Roman Catholicism‚ which played a heavy role in Joyce’s life‚ also does so in the story which is another aspect which makes Joyce’s authorship of the story unmistakable. As a result of Irish heritage displayed

William Carlos Williams’ poem "Danse Russe‚" is written like most modern poetry‚ in free verse. Like nearly all of Williams’ work‚ "Danse Russe" has no meter nor does it follow any rhyme scheme whatsoever.

It is almost as if the poem is to be read as a small statement or random thought occurring inside the
