Talk about the tone in each of Bradstreet’s three poems about the deaths of her grandchildren (pp. 241-42). Many scholars note that the tone of the early poem (from 1665) is more accepting while the later poems (from 1669) express more bitterness. How does Bradstreet’s word choice (diction) change to express a harsher tone in the later poems? Provide specific examples from each poem to help you support your claims. Quotations do not count towards your final word count. What has brought about this change in tone? Is this an example of where we can see “Anne,” Bradstreet’s private voice, becoming more prominent at the expense of “Mistress Bradstreet,” the voice that toes the Puritan party line? Explain.

“We did not give our country to you; you stole it. You come here to tell lies; when you go home, take them with you.” -Sitting Bull (ca. 1831-1890), leader of the Hunkpapa Lakota, 1877
“It is cold, and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people – some of them – have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are – perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find; maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever!” -Chief Joseph (1840-1904), leader of the Wallowa Nez Perce, statement of surrender to the U.S. army, 1877
“The white men were frightened and called for soldiers. We begged for life and the white men thought we wanted theirs; we heard the soldiers were coming. We did not fear. We hoped we could tell them our suffering and could get help. The white men told us the soldiers meant to kill us; we did not believe it but some were frightened and ran away to the Bad Lands. The soldiers came. They said: ‘don’t be afraid-we come to make peace, not war.’ It was true; they brought us food. But the hunger-crazed who had taken fright at the soldiers’ coming and went to the Bad Lands could not be induced to return to the horrors of reservation life. They were called Hostiles and the Government sent the army to force them back to their reservation prison.” -Chief Red Cloud (1822-1909), leader of the Oglala Lakota, statement after the massacre at Wounded Knee, 1890
Mass Grave of Lakota Sioux with U.S. Soliders, Wounded Knee, South Dakota, 29 Dec. 1890

During the 1920s, the federal government commissioned sculptor Guzton Borglum to design the Mount Rushmore National MemorialLinks to an external site. in South Dakota. Borglum launched the ambitious project in 1927, when hundreds of laborers began carving the likenesses of the heads of four U.S. Presidents out of granite in the Black Hills. This epic feat took nearly fifteen years to complete. The likenesses of U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt measure ca. sixty feet per head. Located in a park that spans over 1000 acres, Mount Rushmore falls under the auspices of the U.S. National Park Service. Approximately 2 million people from across the globe annually visit the memorial.

The Harlem Renaissance, a cultural and artistic movement that primarily took place in the 1920s in the neighborhood of Harlem, New York City, had a profound impact on American literature and culture in the 20th century.
Cultural Expression:The Harlem Renaissance was a celebration of African American culture, art, music, and literature. It provided a platform for Black artists and writers to express themselves authentically, challenging stereotypes and racial biases.
Literary Contribution: During this period, a wave of talented African American writers emerged, including Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Claude McKay. Their works, such as Hughes’ poetry and Hurston’s novels, explored the African American experience and identity, contributing significantly to American literature.
Identity and Civil Rights: The Harlem Renaissance played a crucial role in shaping African American identity. It fostered a sense of pride and unity among Black individuals, paving the way for the Civil Rights Movement. The literature of the era often addressed themes of racial inequality and social justice.
Cultural Fusion: Harlem became a hub of cultural fusion, with artists, musicians, and writers from diverse backgrounds coming together. This cross-cultural exchange enriched American culture and laid the foundation for future artistic collaborations.
Legacy: The impact of the Harlem Renaissance extends far beyond the 1920s. Its influence can be seen in the works of later African American writers like James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. It also inspired subsequent generations to use literature and art as tools for social change.
In summary, the Harlem Renaissance was a cultural and literary movement that not only enriched American literature but also contributed to a broader cultural shift, fostering pride in African American heritage and advocating for social change. Its legacy continues to influence American culture and literature to this day.

Traits often associated with the American identity include boldness, confidence, perseverance, and integrity. These traits are often demonstrated through a character’s words or actions. This week, we’ll focus on confidence and how it is reflected in two of the readings. Choose one character from a work of fiction (“Desiree’s Baby” or Trifles) and one person from a work of non-fiction (Torres, Kobabe, or Stanton). Describe how confidence is reflected in each.

Though not typically identified as a Harlem Renaissance author, the work of Gwendolyn Brooks nevertheless reverberates with themes important to the Renaissance movement. Analyze the poem to determine theme. Post the title of the poem you read, state the theme you interpreted from your read, and clearly discuss how this theme aligns with important considerations of the Renaissance era, using specifics (from the poem and from our lecture notes) to support general statements.
Lecture Notes; Clearly, Brooks is enlightening audiences to the plight of Harlem. The picture she paints suggests that life in this urban setting is something of a dead-end proposition: to stay in school leads nowhere (in terms of success or, even, escape) so what’s the point? Dropping out for a life in the streets, however, leads only to danger and a premature death (whether a literal death or only a death of the spirit). But the danger has even larger and more far-reaching implications for children represent new hope—those for whom a brighter future and better promise are hoped. These children, however, are doomed to the same cycle of failure as were their predecessors. Brooks is implying that nothing much has changed over the generations and, worse, that nothing much will, as, presumably, the children of these children (and those beyond) may be doomed to similar fates unless something is done—some significant change brought about. But what change, from where, and when instituted?
Poets, like other authors, don’t presume to have the answers to these kinds of problems. Indeed, writers have the same questions as do we but they give their questions life and form through their literature. Brooks informs readers of the problem and, in doing so, forces us to ask questions of ourselves: not “what can be done” but “what can I do.” This distinction is an important one because the first question is only a passive inquiry, while the second gets shoulders to the wheel of change.
In Conclusion…
As we consider the need for change and the impact the work of Brooks might have had on this particular situation (and on others in urban settings across the country), we have only to ponder our current state of affairs: what do the Harlems of America “look like” today? What has changed since “We Real Cool” was published, who stepped up to enact those changes, what work remains to be done, and, perhaps, most importantly, who will “do” it?
