This poem by Langston Hughes who was born in 1902 and died in 1967 was a poet and social journalist among other things. In this poem which consists of two stanzas Hughes writes about the dreams, especially those of the African Americans. Here that dream is to be free and secure without constrain.

Both "Why We Wear Masks" and "I, too" by Paul Laurence Dunbar and Langston Hughes are similar in tone which is one of determination in making the society better. Dunbar shows in his poem that all is not well in the American society and the situation for the African Americans was not as good as it seemed. So he spoke out with determination in order to make the situation better. Hughes also spoke with determination about perseverance in the African American battle for equality which was long way from over.
3. That would be the second option.
The literary art of the Harlem Renaissance was influenced by the African American culture which was distancing itself from the white stereotypes and defining itself in its own terms through breaking apart from the Victorian moral which was able to enhance the prejudices the whites could have. This is all part of the cultural influence which could be defined as the factors (familial, historical and geographical) that shape and influence the certain processes which here is the Harlem Renaissance.
Answer: This is an example of a Shakespearean sonnet because of:
- the abab, cdcd, efef, gg rhyme scheme
- the widespread use of iambic pentameter
- the use of three quatrains followed by a couplet
Explanation:
In 1609, Shakespeare published 154 sonnets, among which is Sonnet 19. The poem deals with the power of time.
This sonnet is representative of a Shakespearean sonnet because:
- It follows the typical the abab, cdcd, efef, gg rhyme scheme
- the widespread use of iambic pentameter (a rhyme scheme in which each line contains ten syllables -five pairs which are called iambs). For instance, <em>"But I forbid thee one more heinous crime." </em>
- the use of three quatrains followed by a couplet. The first twelve lines in a sonnet are divided into three quatrains (each containing 4 lines), followed by a couplet (two lines written in the same rhyme and meter).

Answer:
3/5
Explanation:
I feel like this may be harsh but the poem doesnt have many rhetoric devices to capture a reader. Instead of smart, beautiful, kind, caring, I would suggest using imagery of Estrella that makes her that way. What makes her this way? Was she a animal lover, helped anyone in need, cook food for you? I would shorten the amount of adjectived to 3 becasue of the rule of three. I liked the repetition of "you" at the end of the poem. All in all, this is cute poem thou :)
