Poetry Response: Bronx Masquerad
What I think of the characters so far is that they expressed there feelings and their past experiences about their life. I can infer that this poem is expressing the feeling Wesley is feeling about how black people are being treated. I can infer that Wesley wrote this poem because he feels the same way that happened Langston Huge. What their poetry reveals about Wesley is that he thinks everyone should be equal and follow there own dreams no matter what color or race you are. The word that best describe how the poet is feeling is that black people should have equal rights. For example, in his poem he wrote "that we blacks folks be good at fanning hope and stroking the fires of dreams deferred."
