The romantic poets
I am very excited about this presentation. At first I planned to include background information, images, and a poem by each author. As I researched the Romantic Poets I found youtube vidoes as well as audio presentations of the poems being read. This pushed me to learn how to embed video and audio links so my students can now hear a poem by each author being read by a professional. Hearing the poems read well as the students read the words in the presentation will make such a positive difference in the student appreciation and understanding of both the poems ad the Romantic poets. I had several problems uploading this presentation. I followed instructions on the slideshare site and converted the PPT to a pdf file. Hopefully this does the trick and allows me to upload this presentation. This is my fifth try.

The document outlines some of Wordsworth's most famous poems and ideas around the role of imagination and poetry's relationship to nature from the preface.
A Dream Deferred
Langston Hughes' poem "A Dream Deferred" explores what happens when dreams and aspirations are put off to a later time. The poem uses imagery and rhetorical questions to suggest that delaying one's dreams can cause them to wither and decay, or potentially "explode" in frustration. As part of the Harlem Renaissance, Hughes sought to portray the black experience in America and encourage African Americans to pursue their goals and celebrate their culture despite facing racial struggles and limited opportunities at the time. The theme of pursuing one's dreams, even in the face of adversity, remains relevant today.
The romantic poets
I am very excited about this presentation. At first I planned to include background information, images, and a poem by each author. As I researched the Romantic Poets I found youtube vidoes as well as audio presentations of the poems being read. This pushed me to learn how to embed video and audio links so my students can now hear a poem by each author being read by a professional. Hearing the poems read well as the students read the words in the presentation will make such a positive difference in the student appreciation and understanding of both the poems ad the Romantic poets. I had several problems uploading this presentation. I followed instructions on the slideshare site and converted the PPT to a pdf file. Hopefully this does the trick and allows me to upload this presentation. This is my fifth try.

Langston Hughes Poetry Offer Insight To African American
Langston Hughes was an influential African American poet and writer. He was born in Joplin, Missouri in 1902 to an abolitionist family. Hughes endured racism from a young age but was inspired to write about the real experiences of Black people. One of his earliest poems, "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," depicts the enduring spirit and soul of Black people through references to ancient rivers like the Nile, Euphrates, and Congo. Hughes went on to write novels, plays, and poems that helped shape the Harlem Renaissance and establish him as the "Poet Laureate of the Negro Race." He focused on reflecting the actual culture and experiences of Black Americans in his work.

It discusses how Harlem became the epicenter of black culture during this time due to the large population of African Americans that migrated north from the rural south. The document also provides context about the emergence of black intellectualism and increased cultural activity during this period, as well as how white patronage supported black writers and artists until the onset of the Great Depression in the early 1930s. Major figures of the Harlem Renaissance like Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston are also introduced.
Author presentation- Langston Hughes
Langston Hughes was an influential African American poet, novelist, playwright and columnist born in 1902 in Missouri. He was a pioneering figure of the Harlem Renaissance and wrote extensively about the experiences of African Americans and issues of racism, injustice and identity. Some of his most notable works included poems like "A Negro Speaks of Rivers" and "A Dream Deferred." Hughes faced racism and instability in his early life but found success as a writer and left a significant impact through his literary and cultural contributions that celebrated black history and promoted racial pride.
Harlem renaissance poetry2
The poem "If We Must Die" by Claude McKay memorializes the bloody summer of 1919 and encourages African Americans to face oppression bravely rather than cower in fear. McKay uses powerful imagery of being hunted animals to depict the dehumanization African Americans faced, but urges them to "die nobly" fighting back rather than as "hogs...in an inglorious spot." The message is one of resisting through courage and dignity rather than submission.
Harlem renaissance poetry
The summary analyzes Langston Hughes' poem "The Weary Blues" in 3 sentences:
Hughes' poem describes a speaker listening to a blues musician play late at night in Harlem, capturing the mournful tone of blues music through repetition and inclusion of blues lyrics. The speaker depicts the blues musician swaying lazily to the music on a rickety stool and singing of loneliness and weariness. Hughes' poem uses the blues performance to give readers insight into the emotional state of African American blues artists during the Harlem Renaissance.
