What effect does Hughes achieve by repeating the phrase "does it" in "Harlem"?

English
1 answer:
nataly862011 [7]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

‘Harlem’ is a poem written by Langston Hughes. Hughes works are simply incredible, his poems describes the pain of the people, mostly the African Americans. Harlem is one such poem.

In this poem, we will notice that Harlem is repeating the phrase ‘does it’ throughout the poem. From the very first line we come to known he’s talking about a deferred dream. Later he points out his assumption about what happens to such delayed dream by adding ‘does it’ after each line, putting a question mark at the end.

So basically the poet is trying to contrast a dream. He is pressuring readers to understand what exactly it feels when dreams are shattered. There’s a pain and anger in the phrase ‘does it.’

Why is poetry important?
MAXImum [283]
Poetry is important because it helps you express yourself. It was a release for many in history as well. We can learn a lot about the world around us through poetry. Emily Dickins wrote poetry, and today, we use her poems to know what it was like to be living in her time. Poetry comes in many forms. Letters, a passage to read, or a song. Music is something that benefits the world in many ways. Without the element of poetry and rhyme-scheme, our world would not be the same.

"What" and "who" are examples of blank pronouns
USPshnik [31]
<span>A pronoun is a word, which we use instead of a noun, usually to avoid boring repetitions. For example, in the following sentence, I am going to swap the word "pronouns" for the word "them", simply because you will get bored if I fill each sentence with the word "pronoun". There are various forms of them.

Subject pronouns: I, You, He, She, It, We, You, They

Object pronouns: Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, You, Them

Possessive pronouns: Mine, Yours, His, Hers, Its, Ours, Yours, Theirs

Relative pronouns: Which, whose, that, where, when....etc...

I could go on, but I reckon you get the idea now. Ironically, the word "pronoun" is actually a noun.

So the answer yes
