Write an essay of 500-1000 words on the use of a single literary device/term used within one of the poems you read for this lesson. Be sure to:

 

Include an outline.

 

Use MLA format.

 

Include a Works Cited page, listing the poem from your anthology.

 

Review the format for citing lines of poetry. Citations from the poem will be needed to support your argument.

 

View the student model essay at the end of Chapter 1 in your text.

 

Check the syllabus for the due date.

 

Create the essay with the understanding that this is not a book report. Don’t summarize the story, as that is only appropriate for a sentence or two in the introduction. Tell me how a literary device was used in the story.

 

Cite examples from the story in support of your argument using proper MLA format (quotations for direct citations, as well as parenthetical references for both these and paraphrases).

Use these terms and concepts in your essays and concepts in your essays

“Negro” by Langston Hughes

I am a Negro:
Black as the night is black,
Black like the depths of my Africa.

I’ve been a slave:
Caesar told me to keep his door-steps clean.
I brushed the boots of Washington.

I’ve been a worker:
Under my hand the pyramids arose.
I made mortar for the Woolworth Building.

I’ve been a singer:
All the way from Africa to Georgia
I carried my sorrow songs.
I made ragtime.

I’ve been a victim:
The Belgians cut off my hands in the Congo.
They lynch me still in Mississippi.

I am a Negro:
Black as the night is black,
Black like the depths of my Africa.
