.........POEMS BY LANGSTON HUGHES..........

WE SHOULD RESPECT OUR PARENTS.........

After I read Langston Hughes' poems in the EDU 3234 Reading And Project Work For Teaching Literature In ESL contexts module ( pg 47 & 48 ) ,  I found out that his dad was a right white man but his mother was black. So he is not really sure whether hes white or black. He just a cross of the two.

The theme of this poem is despair and self-doubt. He regrets the emotions he had towards his parents and that has led him to doubt himself. In his self doubt he has begun to consider his racial identity. He is spairing for lack one and doubting his ability to choose a path in the world.

I think I can use this poem in my classroom. This poem will teach my pupils to respect and love their parents no matter how they look like. To me it is very important to honor our parents. If not because of them we will not be able to see the world.

Think about our father who are working hard so that we have something to eat, they provide us with shelter and clothing. They strive hard to give us good education. There are many parents who are sacrificing a lot just for the good of their children. This is enough for us to realize that we must respect our parents in any way.
