<u>Explanation</u>:
“Gumption” by “Langston Hughes” is a story about Sylvester and Clara who had insecurity and disbelief. “Gumption” means ability to decide what is the best action to be taken in a given situation.
Clara feels that Sylvester should try to follow Oyster and work towards equality. But Sylvester thinks that he couldn’t protest as he was already very poor and would be risking his home in case he protests. According to him Oyster’s actions are excessive. He thinks “one cannot live on gumption” i.e: being full of courage and guts all the time with common sense.
