Reading Salvation by Langston Hughes personally I can relate because in the story he basically lied . And when I was kid sometimes I use to tell fibs and feel bad about it . Also another thing I felt was when he basically felt left out so he felt the need to lie . Stated in the story , “. I began to be ashamed of myself, holding everything up so long. I began to wonder what God thought about Westley, who certainly hadn’t seen Jesus either, but who was now sitting proudly on the platform, swinging his knickerbockered legs and grinning down at me, surrounded by deacons and old women on their knees praying. God had not struck Westley dead for taking his name in vain or for lying in the temple(Hughes).” This basically proves that he felt ashamed so he did something that he thought was right at the moment . I relate to this because as I was in school as a young kid I use to feel like I had to do things to fit in with a certain friend group .

In ” The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World ,”García Márquez tells the story of a little seaside town significantly impacted by the appearance of a departed outsider. At first confused with a hostile boat or a whale, the townspeople find the huge body of a suffocated man. As they interface with the body and set it up for internment, they are spellbound by his unprecedented size and excellence, naming him Esteban. The residents’ impression of themselves and their environmental elements are changed by Esteban’s presence, driving them to envision a more excellent, more lively presence. Through clear symbolism and otherworldly authenticity, García Márquez investigates subjects of magnificence, local area, and the human condition. “An Exceptionally Elderly person with Huge Wings” presents a comparative investigation of the phenomenal inside the common, as an older man with wings shows up in a town, provoking reflections on trust, empathy, and the idea of supernatural occurrences.
“Salvation” by Langston Hughes depicts a little fellow’s battle with confidence and similarity during a congregation recovery. Hughes describes his experience of going to the occasion with the assumption for experiencing Jesus and being saved. In spite of the intense environment and the tension from his family and local area, he doesn’t encounter the groundbreaking second he had expected. Feeling segregated and frantic to fit in, Hughes at last creates his salvation, troubled by the heaviness of his double dealing and the deficiency of his confidence. The paper mirrors Hughes’ impactful investigation of blamelessness, realness, and the intricacies of strict experience, especially inside the African American people group. Through his own account, Hughes reveals insight into the difficulties of exploring confidence, cultural assumptions, and individual personality despite social and strict tensions.
