Raymond Carver and Langston Hughes were both celebrated American writers, but their writing styles differed in significant ways. The writing style of Raymond Carver was known for being simple and straightforward. He frequently emphasized the difficulties faced by working-class characters and the elements of daily life. Carver’s narrative stood out by its clear language, sparse description, and absence of unnecessary details. He was a big fan of leaving room for the reader to fill in the blanks and the power of understatement. Carver’s writing style is immediately apparent in the first lines of his story “Cathedral”: “This blind man, an old friend of my wife’s, he was on his way to spend the night.” These sentences’ simplicity is a reflection of Carver’s minimalist style and his ability to express depth through restraint. In contrast, poet and author Langston Hughes was known for his lyrical and vivid narrative.  His writing frequently evaluated African American experiences and touched on issues of identity, prejudice, and pursuing one’s dreams. Hughes’ use of metaphorical language, rich imagery, and emotional resonance defined his writing style. In “Harlem,” Hughes poses the question, “What happens to a dream deferred?” in verse. Strong imagery and metaphorical language are used in this line and the ones that follow to convey strong feelings and satire on society. Hughes’ writing style enthralled readers with its poetic and evocative quality, while Carver’s emphasis on simplicity allowed readers to interact with the story. Carver’s minimalist style cultivated an air of sophistication, but Hughes’s work captured readers in vivid details and intense feelings

This shows that he sees the narrative as a lesson to be learned. We can tell that he wants to present a realistic picture of the real world and the numerous challenges that face the young and influences by the phrases he uses frequently, such as “mature “
