Exposition In The Poem By Langston Hughes

that he wants to live to see the change this is going to happen to the world.

Langston Hughes and I have many things in common.. In “Theme for English B” Hughes talks about his truth, how he is very aware that he has a different skin color, but that is not what he thinks he should be identified by. What identifies him are the accumulation of the things in his life. I can relate with this because although I do not feel like I am discriminated for my race, I do feel like I'm discriminated against for not being like those of my race. I also know that certain points of one’s life shapes it. It is difficult to know what you are suppose to be when you are a the first born generation in a country. Much like Hughes at the time that he wrote the piece, I too am young and am eager to grow, while also being oblivious to what come

Langston Hughes’ dedication to depicting the bona fide aspects of black life leads him to discuss struggle. One of the most omnipresent themes in black life, at the time of Hughes, is the constant struggle they face every

while working, but was still grateful because he could have lost more or even his life. (Baek par. 1 10).

Then suddenly he had commited sucide .nobody knows why he killed himself but if i had to guess i would guess that it was because he reached a certian part of sucess but couldnt figure out what he was leaving out he had been trying in trying but nothing ever seemed to feel right to him or feel great.

He no longer wants to live and convinces himself suicide may be an option. His thought of death just being a part of life influenced these immoral decisions to appear. His thought on suicide forces him to believe it will extract the depression from his life. However, he realizes it will also take him out of the world. His soft approach to death being part of the cycle then continues to protest in his mind. He refers to the bible and states “Are two sparrows sold for a farthing, one should not fall…without your father” (Matthew 10.29). This ultimately means that throughout

He and his followers live life to the fullest, epitomizing the idea of “carpe diem” and

Furthermore this song tells how he doesn't want to be alive and in one lyric he

These men, who are suspicious of Henry because he is a foreigner, hold him hostage. Henry witnesses a lieutenant colonel being dragged away, questioned, and shot. It occurs to him that he might share the same fate. He dashes past the guards watching over him, and dives into a swift river. Now that he has fled from his mission, the police and the army chase after him. On the run, Henry decides that diving into a river is the quickest and most reliable way to lose these men. This moment points out the turning point in Henry’s military life. Frederick Henry’s submergence into the river symbolizes of baptism, and it signifies a new start for him. Hemingway utilizes many subtle biblical subtexts, and the message behind this scene is the same. In the water, Henry says, “It was easy to stay under with so much clothing and my boots” (Farewell 225). This quote signifies Henry’s discontent with the military. Hemingway is indirectly commenting on the oppression the military has forced upon Henry. This oppression can be seen through Henry’s love with Catherine, and their inability to be with each other because of Henry’s responsibility to the Italian army. However, by escaping the Italian rear guard, and by symbolically baptizing himself in the river, Henry has found a way to start over: he is no longer bound by the military. Moreover, Henry latches onto a piece of timber to keep himself afloat in the coursing river. This is another subtle biblical reference Hemingway has inserted into the novel: the timber represents the cross, and Henry’s life, literally, was saved by it. Henry quotes, “I held onto the timber with both hands and let it take me along” (Farewell 225). This quote’s significance arises from the fact that Henry is so reliant on the piece of timber that he holds onto it with both hands, and lets the timber—the cross—take him along to safety.

5. The falling action of the poem was the speaker deciding that since he was still alive, he would continue living. It is the falling action because the speaker is beginning to have a change of heart. Him deciding to keep on living eventually led to him learning to love life. The line, "I could've died for love, but for livin' I was born" could show that the speaker has accepted his life.

He explains his desire to continue his voyage and earn admiration. The speaker tells of life’s obstacles and their purpose of existence. He feels only death can show us our true principle on earth. The speaker lives his life for himself. He lives to the fullest and looks only forward. The speaker tries to encourage us all to live our lives and never turn to see the past. Only death can end our joy of life. The speaker looks forward to what death brings. He says death shows us the purpose of our troubles. He encourages we leave recollections behind whether good or bad to carry on our legacies. We must stay true to our hearts and follow the paths we see best fit for the way we see is the better way to go in life. The speaker encourages us all to pursue our hearts as he has followed his. He refuses to give up the life he lives for anyone. He does not care for the easy way out of anything. He wants to animate his life to the fullest until the day he meets

The exposition is to love life, and don’t give up just because it gets hard. The poems idea is letting you know that life might drag you down but you shouldn’t allow it to get to you. You should never harm yourself over life being difficult. There will always be bumps in the road but in the end the narrator eventually got over them. In the end he realizes that he shouldn’t have gotten so down and should've lived life to the fullest.

He waited too long into his illness before realizing that he could never really fix his situation quickly, it would take time and effort he did not have to resolve the tensions with his wife and the relationships abandoned and forgotten. He doesn't accomplish it either, not even able to express the words ‘forgive me’ to his family gathered around his bedside he gives way to death and accepts the joy from his pain finally ending.

For example, as the story begins and exposition occurs in the allied medical center, readers are greeted with short description of the characters that accompany Yossarian at the hospital. As the setting moves from the hospital to the camp, where the majority of the novel takes place, readers are again greeted with further exposition through short descriptions of each character as they are met: “Most of these characters are introduced to us in deceptively explanatory paragraphs which appear to sum up their personalities in a few adjectives, but which really provide the reader with irreconcilably opposite traits.... Gradually the characters become increasingly absurd as the personality traits of each are seen to be one, an obsession” (Kennard 25). Readers soon come to realize that any notions created by reading the short descriptions are almost entirely disregarded and new characteristics are created. Readers are introduced to Hungry Joe once he flees the gunfire from fellow soldier, Havemeyer, who likes to shoot mice. It is assumed that Hungry Joe is deathly afraid of the sounds of war, but readers soon come to realize that Hungry Joe is only calm during missions, and the previous assumption that his post-traumatic stress behaves normally is
