Clem was actually mean towards Langston in the start of the book but he had been nicer to Langston. Langston finallly made a friend which is great because Langston isn't the most social person.

'He been getting on my nerves anyhow.'"

This shows that Clem and Langston have something in common. That they both hate Lymon, and Langston only used to hate Clem because he hung out with Lymon, but now that Langston knows Clem hates Lymon, he can trust Clem and start to get along with him since they have a lot in common.]]> 2022-05-16 12:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185612939 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185613694 Langston realized that Clem may not be a bully, although, they have a lot in common. This had got them from becoming enemies, nearing as somewhat "friends" as each page was flipped. At the end of the story, on page 99, Langston mentions, "He didn't laugh. Didn't make me feel like a fool. I walk on home thinking about poetry and Mama and Clem. My first friend in Chicago." Throughout the story, they had built a strong connection, as it had made a good dent in their relationship. ]]> 2022-05-16 12:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185613694 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185614642 Langston used to hate Clem and tried avoiding him whenever he could so he didn't have to make contact with him but then the author made it so that Clem and Langston have something in common, which is reading, and that Langston shouldn't be afraid of Clem, the author then made it so that they became friends showing that people and their preferences can change for the greater good. An example from the text is: " I walk on home thinking about poetry and Mama and Clem.

In the book, it says, "'Yep, every single one of them. Had to climb a fence to get the last one, but I got it.' Clem looked real proud of himself." This shows that Clem understood that Lymon did something wrong and he went and fixed Lymon's actions to help Langston out. Clem and Langston even have things in common with each other like reading books and going to the library. ]]> 2022-05-16 12:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185614675 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185614701 His relationship with Clem has changed because before they were enemies when Clem was friends with lymon but when they both met at the library and Clem walked Langston home that really showed a true friendship between them. ]]> 2022-05-16 12:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185614701 pawellington https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185615150 He describes poetry as if it is someone very close to him, he speaks about it as if he knows it like the back of his hand and he talks very dear about it like he cares about poetry with a large part of his heart.]]> 2022-05-16 12:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185615150 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185616682 At the beginning of the book, Langston thought that Clem was also just a bully because whenever he got bullied by Lymon, Clem always seemed to be there and laughing. An example of this is on page 9 where the author, Cline-Ransome, writes, "Erroll and Clem start laughing. They're not as mean as Lymon, but they're tryin'." But as time passed in the story, Langston got to know more about Clem ever since they met at the library. He realized that Clem also liked reading and that Clem's dad had passed just like his mom. And near the end of the story, both of them started to spend more time with each other, and Clem revealed to Langston that he doesn't like Lymon at all. He even gathered the pages that Lymon ripped out of one of Langston's books. Now, Langston's first friend in Chicago is Clem. An example of this is on page 99 where the author, Cline-Ransome, writes, "I walk on home thinking about poetry and mama and Clem.

He says that it makes him feel like someone is talking to him and it makes him feel like someone is going through the same thing as him. In a way it makes him feel like he isn't alone when he is facing a challenge. I think poetry makes him all kinds of things but I think that Langston really loves poetry.

He relates poetry to Lymon and Mama, having mixed emotions when referring to poetry.

An example from the text is: '"I like that it feels like.. like someone is talking just to you. And that someone knows what it feels like being... you.

He's trying to help his dad through grief, and the book helped him. Langston Hughes was a bigger part of his life back home than he realizes, and his dad longs to be back with his wife, just like Langston longs to be back with his mom. The text states, "'Your Mama. . .she was smart too.

Also, Ms. Fulton wanted Langston to stop lying to his dad and tell him about what he has been doing at the library recently and why he likes reading. He also wanted his dad to feel what he feels when he reads poetry. For example, on page 86, it says, "The library has all kinds of books. And these books by Langston Hughes remind me...of home and mama."

This shows how Daddy has changed over the story and has accepted that Langston likes to read and he isn't angry at him or sad that his son is doing this he is interested and wants to learn more about the library. This shows how Daddy is a good father and how throughout the story he has became a better person and a more understanding father.

Turns out that extra stop was the library like what Langston told him about.

He describes it as something you read, which puts together all the things you feel inside on the outside. Poetry makes Langston feel happy and sad at the same time. But he likes these emotions because he wants to remember his mom, and he wants to feel what he felt during important times in his life once again.

Langston himself wanted to prove to Daddy, that poetry wasn't just a waste of time, but something that changed their past, reminding them of Mama and the hardships they went through. In other words, the "Blues." On page 86, the text states, "Daddy. The library has all kinds of books. And these books remind me...of home and Mama."

Before hid dad knew, he had to hide it to make sure that his dad didn't figure it out. Now, Langston can read it without hiding it because his dad knows about it and didn't get mad showing he is okay with Langston reading books now.

And it all kind of connects back to Langston's mom, I think this is what she wanted for both of them. She always wanted them to have a close relationship and to relate to each other and I think this how she intended for them to do this. Since she named her son after her favorite poet, I think Langston felt a strong connection to his mom through the poetry and felt like his mom was still with him in the library. So yes, I liked the way it ended and how it all tied together to make a deeper meaning in the end.

This shows that he is getting closer and closer to his daddy, which is really good for both of them. In the beginning, Langston was very scared to share any important information with his daddy like how he got bullied everyday and how he went the library and read on a daily basis.

It connected back to the beginning with the death of his Mama, but also solved Langston's internal conflict with grief once and for all. The text states, "Maybe she knew she wasn't long for this world, knew I'd need something to get me through, but whatever it was, Mama led me to this library. Helped my hand reach out to a shelf holding a book with my name, and it saved me from the pain of losing her and from a city I hated. And Mama, all the way up in heaven, helped me along the way to finding home" (Cline-Ransome 104). Through reading Langston Hughes' poetry, Langston slowly healed his heart.

This is huge and shows us that Dad has changed in a way that will benefit both of them. This shows us that Langstons dad decided that he needed to change and do something that his son likes with him. This means he now realizes Langston likes other things in life and he needs to accept that. An example from the text is: "' Which way is the library?" ]]> 2022-05-16 12:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185649211 dbarbieri6 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185650823 Langston did not hide the book because he knows that his dad knows about the books. He leaves them out because it is useless to hide them now. This shows that he is brave enought to possibly face a punishment.]]> 2022-05-16 12:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185650823 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185651358 Daddy asks to go to the local library on Saturday with Langston. He does this because he also wants to read and feel the great feelings he would get from poetry. This shows us that he wants to learn from Langston and that he really understood why Langston loved reading poetry so much. This is great for Langston because he doesn't really have to hide this passion of his anymore from his daddy. And this is very good for the relationship between Langston and his daddy as well since now, they will start to spend more time with each other. ]]> 2022-05-16 12:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185651358 ajha17 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185651516 It closes the book to a conclusion and shows what Langston has learned from the book. It shows how Langston has slowly got along with people and he found himself and his life in the library. He knew his life was with poetry and reading. He found where his name may have came from. This ending shows what Langston has learn in his time in Chicago. I would like if the author showed what he thought about Lymon and Clem by the end of the book and what he learned about them, but that is about it.]]> 2022-05-16 12:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185651516 pkmurphy https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185651646 2022-05-16 12:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185651646 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185651851 I liked the ending and everything about it except I kind of wanted one thing to happen, I wanted that dad to read a book and smile, that how I imagnied the ending, other than that I liked it.]]> 2022-05-16 12:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185651851 mvsilva3 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185652005 In the last chapter, Daddy tells Langston that they need to get up early because they're going to make an extra stop. When they get to the corner Daddy asks which way the Library is. He claims it to know where Langston has been spending all of his time. This shows us that Daddy cares about Langston what Langston cares about.]]> 2022-05-16 12:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185652005 pkmurphy https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185652486 2022-05-16 12:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185652486 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185655108 I liked the ending, I kind of expected him to go to the library with langston and finally have some quality time with langston. but over all it was good. ]]> 2022-05-16 12:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185655108 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185657711 I think the ending was a great way to resolve the story, and concluded that poetry changed Langston, and would permanently differ his perspective of other things. He states, "Mama, all the way up in heaven, helped me along the way to finding home." This quote overall states the change poetry had in Langston, and even though he would never see his mother, she would always become a part of him.]]> 2022-05-16 12:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185657711 https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185658212 Yes, I do think it was a good ending because it showed how even though Langstons's mother isn't with him phiscally he still knows she is watching over him and taking care of him. In the text it states that, "Mama, all the way up in heaven, helped me along the way to finding home." ]]> 2022-05-16 12:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/annakeller1/ih0gxf62qyljwzhp/wish/2185658212
