Ben mentioned the admiration for America expressed by Hughes in the poem. I also had a Hughes poem, but instead of admiration, he expressed optimism about America. Both are Modernism characters. The point about the rivers stood out because that was a good comparison for respect of the world.
One thing that stuck out to me was the admiration of America. The Modernism period emerged from the United States in a time of great prosperity. Your work is similar to mine, in that they both have monologues in them.
Very nice job keeping the video interesting by keeping a comical note to it, but at the same time giving very good examples. For example your example of the author using a monologue which is a very good example of Modernism.
There was a difference between my poem and your poem. That difference was that your poem was a monologue and I noticed that you said that. Mine however was a dialogue between a young girl and a man. The thing that hit me was the importance of the individual. It was in relation sort of from my poem where the girl sort of felt bad after that man called her a N&$#%@. Good Creativity.
Your video analysis on the poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" relates to Modernism because it talks about trying times and when black people were treated unfairly. My video doesn't relate to yours very much, but that's probably because mine talks about pears. My poem didn't have a monologue in it either. Your analysis was very good though and I enjoyed the setting!
Your video is very entertaining! While your poem focuses more on the individual, the poem I read, Chicago, was more about the importance of the whole city.
The poem I read is from the Harlem Renaissance too, but mine uses a rhyme scheme and an iambic pentameter unlike this free verse poem. In the modernist period free verse poetry became a popular form of expression.
This poem does not really relate to mine at all. My poem does not have a monologue, and the struggle in mine is with class and love. But they both have different Modernism themes.
our poems are similar in the idea of the importance of the individual and how that we are all equal in the eyes of God and that we should treat each other equally. The poems also discuss the importance of God and his influence in the world in my poem he makes the kings feel humble and see that they are not the most important people in the world.
The poem I read detailed more of a city and the people in the city, while yours detailed the history and culture of the African Americans during the Harlem Rennaisance which was a big difference in our poems. It spoke the United States as a whole while mine spoke about one little town. Some similarites though was that both poems had spoke of nature and different things found in nature. Your poem was very descriptive while mine was lacking in descriptive writing.
The similarities between our poems is that they both rely on self-intuition and the power of the individual. They were both very hopeful. The difference is that God and religion were incorporated into yours. The thing that stood out to me the most was that the poem still seemed pretty positive even though it was about a negro and still during this time racism was still very common.
Our Modernism works were similar in the element of the value of the individual. In Modernism writing, the authors most likely focused on an individual or an individual and a few loved ones. Our pieces were different because yours was written as a monologue and mine was written with a third person narrator. The thing that stood out to me was the importance of the individual. It seems like most of the Modernism writings focused on the individual rather than society as a whole.
I like how you connected the importance of the individual as a characteristic of modernism and its importance to the story, and how you called out whats his face.
Our poems were very different from each other. Yours was mostly about the importance of the individual in a society, while mine stressed quite the opposite. My poem was about standing up together for what you believe in and being like family to each other through times of persecution.

ReplyDeleteI too read a Langston Hughes story. Our pieces were similar in the fact that they both described and documented a specific region of America.
