Sorry I'm so late on answering this question.

Langston Hughes's stories deal with and serve as a commentary of conditions befalling African Americans during the Depression Era. As Ostrom explains, "To a great degree, his stories speak for those who are disenfranchised, cheated, abused, or ignored because of race or class." (51) Hughes's stories speak of the downtrodden African-Americans neglected and overlooked by a prejudiced society. The recurring theme of powerlessness leads to violence is exemplified by the actions of Sargeant in "On the Road", old man Oyster in "Gumption", and the robber in "Why, You Reckon?" 

I hope this helped, and i know that i'm two years for this.

<span>Hughes's "On the Road" explores what happens when a powerless individual takes action on behalf of his conditions. The short story illustrates the desperation and consequent violent actions of one man's homeless plight on a snowy winter evening.</span>

Answer:

For your information, a diverse range of underwater species thrives in this habitat.

Prepositional phrases are those that assume the role of an adjective or adverb in a sentence in order to characterize or modify other words in that sentence. This type of sentence always starts with a preposition followed by an object, as is the case with the sentence: "For your information, a diverse range of underwater species thrives in this habitat."
