Answer:

The poem is D) a ‘free verse’ poem.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes wrote this poem in 1921 following no metrical scheme or rhyme pattern. So, lines in every stanza vary in the number of syllables and there are no rhyming pairs to be seen.

The poem is characterized by repetition: the word ‘rivers’ and the names of world known rivers such as the Euphrates, the Congo, the Nile and the Mississipi can be read throughout the poem. There’s also repetition of the phrases such as ‘I’ve known’.

There are also continues similes like 'my soul has grown deep like the river' and 'rivers as ancient as the world'.

The different literary figures and the free verse genre allow the author to express the powerfulness and greatness of black history since older times.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

1) With the men coming home at the end of World War II, the women were expected to return to their duties as housewives and caretakers. This led to many decades of gender inequality, the effects of it we are still seeing today.

2) With the beginnings of the Cold War on the horizon, many Americans began creating intense and fanatical virtues of nationalism and American pride that, over the years, has incorporated trends of outright racism, bigotry, and misogyny.
