Answer:
In his essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," poet Langston Hughes interprets the statement of a young African-American poet that, "I want to be a poet—not a Negro poet," to mean, "I want to write like a white poet"; this suggests he was really expressing a subconscious desire to be white. Hughes goes on to argue that this apparent aspiration to bourgeois gentility, as embodied by the dominant Caucasian society, and the psychological cost that adherence to its constraints on creative freedom implies, is terribly damaging to the quality of the creative work and to the spiritual integrity of any African American artist who would embrace it. And it only adds insult to injury that not only does white society pressure African American artists to conform to its standards, but his own people often share the same attitude: "Oh, be respectable, write about nice people, show how good we are, . . . "

Answer and Explanation:
In Edward Irving Wortis's short story "Scout's Honor", the narrator is just a child who goes camping with his two friends to move up to Second Class as Boy Scouts. Throughout the story, they are trying to impress one another, to prove they are tough and fearless. However, the camping trip is a disaster and they have to go back home. Since they were unaccompanied, they make a promise not to tell the Scoutmaster:
<em>Horse said, “Only thing is, we just have to promise not to tell Mr. Brenkman.”
</em>
<em>Grinning with relief, we simultaneously clasped hands.
</em>
<em>“No matter what,” Max reminded us.
</em>
<em>To which I added, “Scout’s Honor.”</em>
<u>This is how the story ends, the very last phrase being "Scout's Honor". It's an ironic way to end the story because Scouts should not lie, and they are using that phrase while agreeing to lie to the Scoutmaster. On the other hand, "Scout's honor" is also related to friendship and loyalty. With their façade as strong boys falling apart, the boys found acceptance of themselves and their friends. They are loyal to one another now, connected through their weaknesses and failures.</u>
