Cross by Langston
I wonder why this poem is put
with the title” cross”.
Could it be the expression of
anger ? or could it be because of the poet position for being neither black nor
white?
When I read through the poem, I
think both could be the reason why Langston entitles his poem cross. His anger comes from
the idea of how to position himself in the society when both black and White
people could not accept people like him-mix black and white people.
This poem is really
suitable to use in class since we live in Malaysia with multi-racial, multi-cultural
and multi-beliefs.
The moral is to not put someone in agony like the experience
of Langston just because of their different in cultures, beliefs and races. We
human should respect to each other for none of us like being marginalized.
