"Setting" up the blog with the first one!



Langston Hughes was very important to the time period of the 1920's. He was primarily known for being a poet, expressing racial pride, and expressing his love for jazz music. Hughes is important to the time period of the 1920's in a few ways. One main way is that he was a poet. Another main way is that he loved expressing his love for racial pride. The theme that Langston Hughes represents is theme 3. He represents this theme because before he became famous there was someone else that was the center of attention like how Europe was the center of attention before WW1. Then when Hughes became famous and then center of attention it was like how America later became the center of attention. So eventually the center of attention changes and does not just stay the same. (Page 750, Par. 2)
