Poem #14: "I am Nobody" by Emily Dickinson

This was a great poem. Emily Dickinson basically explains that in some cases it is almost better to be a nobody than to be somebody. It was an interesting segment and one of her rare poems that uses simple language.

This poem was pretty unique. Like most of Dickinson's poems the language was advance and the meaning of the poem is not exactly clear. However, the concept was very interesting and I definitely enjoyed reading it.

Poem #12: "A Long, Long Sleep" by Emily Dickinson

Poem #6: "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

I feel like in the poem, "The Road Not Taken", Robert Frost shows how he is very unique and different from everyone else.

Poem #5: "As I Grew Older" by Langston Hughes

In this poem, "As I Grew Older", Langston Hughes discusses his dream for black equality. I feel like he is really showing his frustration on the whole matter because in the beginning of the poem he talks about how he had almost forgot his dream. Hughes also does a good job showing how significant it would be if his dream were accomplished.

Poem #4: "Theme for English B" by Langston Hughes

The poem "Theme for English B" was an assignment Langston Hughes had to do for a college english class he was taking. He wrote about how being American is both being white and black. As Americans blacks are a part of whites and whites are apart of blacks, whether you want this to be true or not. I feel Langston Hughes is once again pleading for equal rights for blacks. He feels we shouldn't be looked at as black or white, but as Americans.

Poem #3: "My People" by Langston Hughes

"My People" by Langston Hughes is a very interesting poem. By my people Langston Hughes is referring to all black people. I feel that in the poem he is letting the world know that black people are beautiful. At the time period many people discriminated against blacks and considered them inferior. I feel Langston Hughes is showing that they are no different than whites, except for the color of their skin, and that all blacks are beautiful.

Poem #2: "Children's Rhymes" by Langston Hughes

In the poem "Children's Rhymes", I feel Langston Hughes is trying to show how angry he is with the fact that black men are truly not equal to whites. He questions the idea of liberty and justice for all saying, "we know everybody ain't free." This poem is really a push for more equal rights for blacks, as were many poems that Langston Hughes wrote.

Poem #1: "Dream"s by Langston Hughes

I believe the the poem "Dreams" by Langston Hughes is trying to show the importance of holding on to one's dreams. He is probably referring to the dream he has that one day all blacks will be equal to whites. The poem really tells people to never give up on their dreams and visions, no matter how hard it may be to accomplish.
