2) Consider the following poems by Langston Hughes: “Let America” (found at this site: https://poets.org/poem/let-america-be-america-again), “I too sing America” and “Harlem” (the latter two both found in the textbook). How does Hughes discuss the concept of “The American Dream”? Do his interpretations follow conventional thinking? If not, how do they differ? What links these poems? Do they share similar styles or goals? Do the poems discuss the topic in the same way? With the same attitude? Students should be able to finish the following sentence: “These poems refer to the American Dream, and they are related because ______.” This will be the basis for your thesis (but it will need a great deal of improvement and expansion).
