Remember BY LANGSTON HUGHES 19021967 Langston Hughes Remember The days of bondage And remembering Do not stand still.

Go to the highest hill And look down upon the town Where you are yet a slave. Look down upon any town in Carolina Or any town in Maine, for that matter, Or Africa, your homeland And you will see what I mean for you to see The white hand: The thieving hand. The white face: The lying face. The white power: The unscrupulous power That makes of you The hungry wretched thing you are today.

Analysis
Allusion: In this poem the allusion is when he is referring to slavery. Tone: The tone of this poem could be fuming because he thinks about slavery and how it was for African-Americans. Theme: The theme of the poem is tragic to me because as Hughes explains the way African-Americans were treated which makes the readers feel this way. Interpretation: I like this poem because it puts an image in your head of how things were and how so many people gave their lives trying escape from slavery. This is one of my favorite poems by Langston Hughes because it refers. Figurative Language: Imagery- Go to the highest hill and look down upon the town
