Today in class we answered 10 questions about The Negro Speaks of Rivers. Many of the questions were asking about the connection of rivers and African Americans. I had to rush to finish like the last 2 questions so I couldn’t really give a full response. I liked analyzing this poem because I like how Langston Hughes talks about how the rivers changed the speaker and how important the rivers are to the speaker and how he compares them to human veins.
