In Claude Mckays poems he is very passionate about the hard times. He makes you feel the way he feels by using great expressions and words. I can feel how down, beat and trampled he lives, or what he is seeing being lived.

Claude McKay and Harlem Ren.
Though I wasn't in class this week, I did a little research of the harlem renistance. I found that the Harlem Renaissance was an expression of African-American social thought and culture that took a place in newly-formed Black community in neighborhood of Harlem. Characteristics of the Harlem Renisiance I can across are:
Desperation
Sadness
Hopelessness
Love of God
Semi-dark
Talks about the existing discrimination
Excellent rhythm
Comments on racism indirectly and directly
Identity issues
Racial pride
