Critical Perspective

Decided I mines well stay on my topic for my paper and my Wiki, Langston Hughes "The Weary Blues."  My critical perspective of which I will also be writing my essay paper about is the different view I took from reading the poem then other readers.  Most people think the poem is only about the blues and jazz music; However I feel like Langston was also using his words to also tell about the times of oppression for African Americans after WW2.  This is also well known as the Harlem Renaissance.  He uses his words as symbolism for the struggles and ties those words into the music of jazz and the blues.
