There is Confusion, The Fire in the Flint, Plum Bun, The Chinaberry Tree… Dealt with better classes and representative Negroes. Explored racial intermixture.

LA VIE C’EST LA VIE Theme:  Conveying “refined sentiments”  Enjoying peaceful life beside someone, but racial differences prevent enjoyment  Message is that because of racial differences, one cannot enjoy themselves Tone:  Begins happily; ends in “I wish I were dead” (Fauset)  Mood is mainly proud and happy, but ends in pain and sorrow  Feeling is that African Americans want more rights and freedom Technique:  5 verses, ABCB  Language; 1-2) joyful 3) thankful 4) scared 5) pain  Imagery (1,2) and Juxtaposition (1 to 5)

DEAD FIRES Theme:  AA wanting rights and peace  Message is that they are not getting it, it’s “black and leaden” (Fauset) Tone:  Mood; upset and pained  Feeling; AA want more of a fair chance to live Technique:  2 verses, AABB  Language is angry and wanting for what’s right, better crying than passion dying  Alliteration (drawn dreary day), POV (whites don’t think this way)
