Langston Hughes, The Negro Speaks of Rivers

write a literary analysis that examines Langston Hughes, The Negro Speaks of Rivers. Take a formal approach. Support your claim(s) about the text with examples and details from the poem or story.
A formal approach–which examines one (or more) of the literary elements in a work and explains how it relates to the whole, thus contributing to a text?s overall meaning or significance. Possible elements to consider include plot, character, theme, setting, conflict, structure, point of view, genre, style, tone, imagery, symbolism, irony, narrator, foreshadowing, paradox, allusion, metaphor, rhythm, rhyme, etc
A formal approach requires careful reading of the primary text, as well as a debatable claim that will need to be supported or "proved" with evidence (direct references, quotations) from the text.
Your primary concern should be an examination of the work of literature you selected.
Because you are essentially arguing that your perspective is a valid one, you have to support it effectively with evidence from the primary source that you select (direct references to specific quotations, lines, passages, scenes, etc.). Remember that an analysis is not driven by plot. It’s driven by the "idea" that you want to communicate about the story or poem. If you consult secondary sources, be sure that quotations from them do not dominate your essay. You are not writing an informational report but rather a literary analysis that requires a close reading of the text.
