Let America be America again analysis
In Langston Hughes verse Let the States be the States again he dialog about how America should re crease to the way that it was perceived to be in the fancys before America was truly America. Throughout the rime he uses various methods to evoke the patriotic images and fancys that he feels America should and each(prenominal)ow for eventually be. Hughes states that America is supposed to be a place of equivalence for everyone including some(prenominal) white and unilateral people. During this period in magazine though there was not equality for everyone.Hughes talks about an America where both(prenominal) whites and colored people will have equality in all aspects socially, politically, and economically. What Hughes is saying is that both whites and colored people should be treated evenly when looking for job opportunities, at the voting booths, and in public association itself. Langston Hughes thoughts of what America should be during this stream state are pertinent i n the way that they refer to all people being treated equally and how in Americas currents state equality is greatly needed.To continue on Langston Hughes talks about what the American Dream is and who conceived it. The American dream was the dream of a contribute where there would be complete peace and equality. This dream was conceived by all the people who came over to this land to build America from the plant up these people would be known as the first Americans. The dream of building a country from the ground up that would be both peaceful and have equality for everyone was an extremely daring task for these people. This is because they had to turn on their own previous countries and declare their own indep destinationence.The first Americans saw this as a very important thing to do if they were dismissal to build America to be the country of equality that they dreamed of. Furthermore, there were also some people who distorted the American dream by searching for their own personal success. The people that distorted the American dream would be the slave owning Americans themselves. They did not create slavery just with the intentions of having colored people as personal helpers, it was more towards gaining success in mammoth corporations and companies.The more slaves you could have the more products your company would be able to produce, and during Americas current growing state a variety of products were needed in luxuriously demand. Therefore the American dream was distorted by the Americans whom were slave owners. boastful corporations and companies like tobacco and cotton plantations also contributed to the building of America. Its not the companies or corporations themselves that just contributed to the building of America but the people who worked for them. This would hold all white, colored, and slave workers.The ways that these companies are not free is payable to the fact that some of them use slaves and discriminated against colored peo ple during this time. If companies within America are not treating people equally, then America is not seen as a country of equality and freedom. Langston Hughes also shows us his mood throughout the poem while he is explaining his thoughts. Hughes mood would be one of fury and resentment because America is not turning out to be the land that it was promised to be, or the land that many people dream of for him.Hughes keeps this mood from the beg of the poem to the end of the poem in hopes that he will thread his point across to the rest of America. His last by writing this poem the way he did was mainly to express his ideas of how he feels America should be currently. Those ideas are not real for many people in America during this time collect to their race, economic situation, or where they were raised. This poem is relevant to instantly because there is still some discrimination in our county, but the center or intensity of this has greatly decreased over the years.It is al so relevant in the way that it refers to our country being a free county. The American dream has also changed throughout Americas history because during contrary time periods our countries goals have changed. For example at the begging of America our goal was to create a land of equality and peace, but then briefly after many people were taken over by avariciousness and changed their goals for personal success and making money. These would be the white exploiters who could also be recognized as slave owners or discriminators, and the exploited would be the nonage of coloredpeople and slaves.What we could change to fit todays order would be to get rid of the level of discrimination that there was during this time in history, as well as abolish slavery completely. No the dream is not still viable because Langston Hughes dreams were for equality and for the people to be protected equally under the same laws and law enforcement. In the end its truly up to everyones individual self t o live their lives, due to the fact that America does not completely control our lives.
