Modernism: Zora Neale Hurston "The Gilded Six-Bits" (p.943), Richard Wright "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" (p. 1060), Langston Hughes "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," "Mother to Son," "I, Too," and "Democracy" (P. 1038-1043) POST 1 & 2: In separate 250 word posts, respond to two of the following:

A)What is the main issue of "The Gilded Six-Bits"? Is the focus on adultery and the morality of relationships or is the focus on money and the affects of capitalism? How is the issue of race treated in "The Gilded Six-Bits" - particularly in the treatment of Otis's past?

B)What is Joe waiting for in order to forgive Missy May in "The Gilded Six-Bits"? How does period of deliberation affect his forgiveness of her - does it make more of less sincere? What does this say about their relationship going into the future?

C) How is Dave in "The Man Who Was Almost A Man" not a man? Is there one central force preventing him from becoming a man? How does he go about overcoming this? Is it even possible for him to do so?

D)Consider the three Langston Hughes poems assigned. What are the major similarities in terms of theme in these poems? Is there a central idea that Hughes seems to be getting at in these poems?
