Part 1: Take a look at the Literary Timeline in Lessons. Choose any work that we have read in this class and examine some of the historical events preceding its publication, according to the timeline. Discuss how one or more historical event that takes place no more than 20 years before the publication of the work might be seen as influencing the theme or overall message of the work.
Part 2: “Yet Do I Marvel” contains many classical references. Look up the meaning of one of them. Explain what that reference contributes to your understanding of the poem. How does it relate to the overall message?
Part 3: “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” also connects a people to a symbol that is timeless and ‘of the earth’. This is not the first work we’ve seen that discusses rivers. Water is a symbol in many works. Discuss how it appears in Hughes’s poem and in two other works we’ve read this term; what does water seem to represent in these works?
In addition to the readings listed above, We’ve read:
F. Scott Fitzgerald: “Babylon Revisited”
John Steinbeck “The Chrysanthemums”
E.E. Cummings: “In Just,” “Since Feeling is First,” and “Buffalo Bill’s Defunct”
T. S. Eliot: “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”
