Common Points:
- In “The Black Ball” by Ralph Ellison is a story that focuses mainly on racial discrimination and prejudice.
- In “Why, You Reckon?” by Langston Hughes is also focused on the struggle of the African Americans in American society.
Differences:
- In “The Black Ball” by Ralph Ellison uses metaphors and allegories and characterization to show how racism and discrimination affect people in their way of being and thinking. The story happens in a Hotel, John works at it and has a conflict with the Hotel Manager and The Union worker.
- In “Why, You Reckon?” by Langston Hughes uses slang words that were used in the 1930s and also uses a lot of suffixes like “ing” and “in”. He also uses a lot of symbolism even though he speaks about real places like Harlem and the darkness of the furnace. The story takes place in Harlem New York a place of extreme poverty in the 1930s.
<em>The main difference between both stories is that Hughes wants to show the pursuit of happiness despite adversities. In the Black Ball, Ellison tries to show that there is no differences between people.</em>
