Group slides

Here are the slides for my group 
In the poem "The negro Speaks Rivers", by Langston Hughes, he uses the river as a symbol.
In the line, " I heard the singing of the Mississippi," is an example of personification which makes the river a living singing thing. The singing river demonstrates the emotions of the African american people. Singing has always been an accepted way of expressing emotion within the African american race. Langston Hughes figurative language to illustrate that African american lives matter.
