Shanice Brown Discussion 10

My research paper will focus on the short story “Salvation” by Langston Hughes. A young boy who faces emotional pressure to be saved by his aunt and church members. The irony of this is that he wasn’t saved and lost faith in God. My thesis statement is: “Hughes uses an ironic twist between dramatic and situational irony to show a young boy’s disillusionment with faith.” After looking over the secondary sources on BMCC I have learned how to view a story from different people’s points of view of what the story means to them or the message they got from the story. When reading the secondary sources I learned Langston was a famous black American poet who expressed how he felt through his work.
