Life+Is+Fine

"Life Is Fine" by Langston Hughes Liza

=__Life is Fine__= Except from [|Life is Fine]

So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love-- But for livin' I was born

Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-- I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.

//Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

By Langston Hughes// =Introduction= [|Langston Hughes] was a poet of the [|Harlem Renaissance], and a writer. Hughes wanted to show the difference between his own experiences and the experiences that everyone goes through, but in this case he expresses the experiences of the black Americans. He wrote in a way that showed the black American culture, and the way they suffered for love, music, laughter, and the language. He wrote [|The Weary Blues] published by Alfred A. Knopf publish in 1926 and later his novel //[|Not Without Laughter]// received a gold medal. Other poems by Langston Hughes are Dream Variations, Dreams, Daybreak in Alabama, and I, Too. =Analysis= Life is hard there are always things coming your way at all times and its hard knowing how to handle the situations. At points you feel like jumping in the water even though you don't know how to swim, at time you feel like saying bey to life. Yet you have to look at the bright side of things and keep living.
