Today we discussed Langston Hughes and looked at a few of his poems. We specifically discussed Dream Boggie, Dream Boggie Revised, A Dream Deferred. We discussed how these three poems seemed to be connected, subliminally. How all three, even though they are worded differently, seem to carry the same massage. We also listen to two of his other poems, early works.
We also read and Wallace Stevens, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird. Each of us were given a part to read and we discussed as a whole. We reached a conclusion that the blackbird, which usually signifies death, represents a good thing.
We also, looked at Lyric, from Tocqueville. And discussed how the poem relates to 9/11.
