Sarah's RR2

In the poem, "Theme for English B" by Langston Hughes, the poem is written as a black African American living in Harlem. He has a homework assignment to "go home and write a page tonight, and let that age come out of you-- then, it will be true." I think this is a good assignment to give someone who is 22 (like the narrator). When one is 22 they hopefully have figured out who they are and what their life goals are. Regardless, it's always a good idea to take a step back and assess what makes you, you and realize where you want to go in life, and what you want to become. One can figure out what people in their life matters and makes them happy, and what people in their life aren’t sincere and bring the individual down. When one reflects then they may also realize that they need to rebuild bridges between their family and friends. I think high schools in particular should have retreats. I went to a catholic school and we went on one every year. It is a good experience for everyone to open up to their classmates and reassess who you really are.
