Langston Hughes was an African American poet, novelist, short story writer, and columnist. He wrote during the Harlem Renaissance.
"Salvation" by Langston Hughes was written to depict the internal struggle of a young boy grappling with issues of faith and community expectations. The narrative explores themes of innocence, disillusionment, peer pressure, and the complexities of belief. Hughes uses vivid imagery and storytelling to convey a powerful message about the challenges of finding one's own path to salvation.
In "Salvation" by Langston Hughes, foreshadowing is used subtly to hint at the disappointment and disillusionment that Langston will face. For example, when Langston's aunt tells him that he will see "the light of Jesus" and Langston overhears another boy lying about his experience, these moments foreshadow the internal conflict Langston will experience when he is unable to have the same spiritual revelation. Ultimately, this foreshadowing builds tension and anticipation leading to the climax of the story where Langston feels lost and betrayed.
