Why does Hughes use strange titles that don really match his poems?
The titles aren’t necessarily bad, they do match up. For example, the poem Wonder is given that title because he is describing a scene that gives him a sense of wonder. Parade talks about a parade that is going on. Childrens rhymes talks about how white children of that time period don’t/didn’t see the real world as it is and the ongoing poverty around them. Some poems Do have confusing names but I’m sure that the titles are what they are for a reason. The titles may be an unseen part of the poem. Langston Hughes has weird titles that don’t really match up because he has his own style of writing . It is done in his own perspective. He has his own way of expressing himself. He uses trems that makes you think about the significance of the poem. In the poems Movies and Not Movie (230-231), he uses Movies as to say non-fiction, and in the poem Not Movie, it is fiction meaning reality. The poem titles do match up but you have to look deep into them. You have to understand what messages Hugh
