Dreams by: Langston Hughes

Imagery: The imagery of “Dream is very describing. The imagery of the poem is “Life is a broken –winged bird, and the last, piece of imagery is “Hold fast to dreams for when dreams go Life is a Barren field Frozen withy snow. And in the poem has some Metaphors. And the metaphors are “Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die Life is a broken –winged bird that cannot fly. And the last, metaphor is “Hold fast to dreams for when dreams go life is a barren field frozen with snow. And also my favorite line is “life is a broken winged-bird that cannot fly. And I choose this line because Langston uses a metaphor to really show /tell you that life is like a bird that can`t fly which means that life is hard and painful. My opinion is that he described it very well and made a good metaphor to show that life is hard and painful. THE END!

 

 

“Youth” Langston Hughes Blog post!

 

Langston Hughes made an image in my head. The image he made was like me waking up to a better tomorrow. I think this is my favorite poem that Langston Hughes ever wrote. The basic gist of this poem is don’t ever doubt a tomorrow. The theme of the poem is never think of no tomorrow. Langston Hughes used rhythm rhyme which made the poem better. My favorite line is “a night gone thing, a sun down name”. This is my favorite line because it made me think it meant when the sun goes down it will always come back up. My opinion of this poem is that the poem was one of the best poems Langston Hughes ever wrote. This is my reaction to the poem “Youth” by: Langston Hughes. Thank you for reading this J.

I Too sing America. By: Langston Hughes Blog By: LMT

 

I Think the imagery is that the darker brother is at the kitchen getting his food and then he is about to sit down on the table but then the mom says “Go sit over there now. You can’t sit here on the sofa with us. You have to eat in the kitchen.”

I think the theme of this poem is that no matter what color skin you are, you should be able to do ANYTHING. I think that is the theme because     the mom isn’t letting the darker brother sit in the sofa with them, but only because he is African American.

My favorite line is when it says “When company comes nobody dare to say go sit in the kitchen now.”

“Winter moon”; Poem By: Langston Hughes   Blog by: LMT

 

This poems imagery is very descriptive. The poem says “How thin and sharp is the moon tonight. How thin and sharp and ghostly white is the slim curved crook of the moon tonight!” That is kind of the whole poem but this is saying that the moon us thin, and sharp. And so you can picture the moon thin, sharp, ghostly white, slim, and curved. The rhyming words are tonight, and white. I think the theme of the poem is that it’s saying that the moon has many different kinds of adjectives. My favorite line is that it says “How thin and sharp and ghostly white…” This is my favorite line because it really describes how the moon is. My opinion is that I really like it because it really describes the moon.
