This story in particular inspired the African Americans in the Harlem Renaissance to stand up to white people. From the Dark Tower can be interpreted as Cullen’s own American Dream, wanting everyone to be equal.]]> 2022-02-28 18:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lmulli6052/78kxkhtlnt6a3wfo/wish/2070067147 Source #2 The Copper Sun lmulli6052 https://padlet.com/lmulli6052/78kxkhtlnt6a3wfo/wish/2070081341 This story is to tell African Americans to hope and believe in a better future(the american dream) just like the main character Amari. Cullen shares this idea because he is similar in believing of the American Dream. This book was so well received that other African American poets followed his footsteps writing their own version of the american dream.]]> 2022-02-28 18:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lmulli6052/78kxkhtlnt6a3wfo/wish/2070081341 Source #3 Analysis of Fruit and The Flower lmulli6052 https://padlet.com/lmulli6052/78kxkhtlnt6a3wfo/wish/2072039213 The Fruit and The Flower is a great story that gives an idea of Countee Cullen’s fight for injustice. This story may be a story about himself as well, wanting to write poem his own way, not having to deal with supremacy and differences. This poem is to inspire other young African Americans to stand up and do what they believe in, no matter what other people think of them.

This may be the result of him writing poems to show America the problems that African Americans had faced. People reading this could relate to his traumatic experience at a young age which supports the idea of having to live with those problems and face them head on.
