This Poem, by Langston Hughes is like an awesome Poem, I mean Hello, it totally got Caroline to read it! haha... I believe that this poem talks about how the claim that America is the homeland of the free and that we are the best place in the world is false. That we make people believe we are so great and then when they get here they see how it really is.
Does anyone esle believe we claim to be more then we really are?
Im not saying we are completely not free and we completely suck and should quit at life. But I think we make ourselve look better then we really are. Which makes us pretty arrogant.
Posted by MaryBonner at April 13, 2005 5:32 PMI totally agree. I love America and feel so blessed to have been born here, BUT, I do think we think we are so much better than we really are. We, and by we I mean the people who are seen when they view our country like our government, Hollywood and people like Donald Trump, walk around like we are the best thing ever and should be bowed down too. We're not, we have problems of our own and need to make them known to the world.
