I am doing Langston Hughes “Salvation”. “This epiphany was a lot more than Langston just losing his faith, because his innocence left with it.” I think both biographical sources and Literary Critiques would both be helpful secondary sources for me. Biographical because “Salvation” is a true story from his childhood, and Literary Critiques because the way he tells the story is beautiful and complex, and also full of Dramatic Irony. I have looked at JSTOR because it’s my old faithful, and found some interesting critiques of not just “Salvation” but many other of his short stories and poems, and many people exploring religion in many of his works. And I explored the Biography in Context and found a few interesting biographies as well.

Hey Emma-Aine,
I also decided to write about Langston Hughes and the irony he uses to share his experiences about losing faith. I could agree that Langston beautifully tells his story by using dramatic irony. He uses irony to show what others expected of him versus how it actually played out.
