The reason for pairing these two poems isn't immediately clear to me, but I suppose the two poems are related in how they address a central theme: how do we (esp. "we" in reference to black people in the late 19th and early 20th centuries) respond to the painful parts of life?

In addressing this theme, both poems make heavy use of figurative language, but they don't always use the same literary elements. Dunbar's poem seems to rely more on metaphor (esp. in the central image of the mask) whereas Hughes' poem is structured around similes (all but one of the comparisons are introduced with the word "like").

The diction of the poems is very different and may be one point of contrast that you can develop. The vocabulary in Hughes' poem is simple and concrete in comparison to that of Dunbar's. Dunbar even uses the archaic form "thee."

A good point of comparison and contrast may be the form of the poems. Both poems use end rhyme, but Hughes' poem is much more loosely structured; it's written in free verse and doesn't use a clearly measured number of syllables per line. Read the lines of both poems aloud, slowly and clearly but in a natural speaking voice, and you'll hear the difference in form.

How much money did Howard Hughes have?

Howard hughes JR was allways about patent royuitys and those royuitys still produce trillions upon trillions in patent useage rights AKE royuitys of which the frats control as do they the airwaves so the farts are part of the coverup still and have endless funds via those royuitys and howard DNA and his sons sperm so they even have the hughess kids and DNA under thier thumbs.Those patent rights will runout in the next 20-40 years so thier time is weaning but they will steal more rights like the penn state college rights to the corona shots


Does Howard Hughes have children?

Yes, several. But because the uncle wanted the money he chose to deny them, they were adopted out for their safety. He saw them sent stuff to them but when any got close stuff would happen like the court house burned down with the records in it. Or they could find the DNA sample. The family to this day doesn't want to acknowledge that he has grand kids, great grand kids and great great grand kids because they would lose everything. There are photos that show him at a hospital to ck on a sick grandchild. His 1st born was named Rose Marie but when she was adopted her name was changed to Rhoda Mae.. The family won't allow DNA tests either.. But it would be nice to be able to trace the family tree. He had a total of 9 children and most of them knew each other. Howard Hughes always talked about Rise Marie before he died.. Strange that my grandmother had stuff from him and photos. Her original birth certificate showed him as the father. Strange that it was delivered to her. Time actually did a piece on her too.

Howard robard hughes JR my father was a super picky eater for sure,everything had to be spot on and you had to have ALL your shots as he did to globe trotty as everyone has to do to get thier passports.Sorting or playing with your food is done by many and to say that make you insane is like saying you wont get covid if you dont wear a mask.Howard had damaged lungs and about everything else but he didnt play-he was THINKING which he did best,the sorting of the peas is looking at the details are these GMOs? are they clean are they safe.dumping garbage down your blow hole without looking at it would be INSANE as are the paperback back packers ON for making moneys writing about it or slandering howard hughess which he was slandered endlessly by the hollywood puppets for a handout.He had to go on radio to even prove he was still alive ,forced to by mofia owned judger nottys on the payroll.The dirty seven texas judges removed and harold lummis thier puppet attorney in the side pocket lifted the patent royuitys worth trillions still ongoing for thier power clubbySS^^^$$$ fartty fartZZ


how many spuce gooses did howard hughes build?

One prototype while under contract in WWII while the allied forces had blown up most of the giant luftwaffe SEAplanes AKE giant boat planes howard was still under contract to build the H-4 hercules withs more to be built later,there was no later the war was over and howard hughes JR had spent more of his own moneys on the one spruce goose than it ever made,Hollywood has a totally no knowledges about boats with wings or the flying sea planes.The H-4 did its job as well of any of the luftwaffe giant troop transporters.Hollywood has been slanding howard hughes for too many years now.Hollywood doesnt know a thing about howard hughes other than to slander for moneys.Hollywood doesnt know aviation a giant seaplane is designed to transport troop in mass and is Not designed to flying much above the water as it uses a knife edge affect to drop off the drag of the airframe and wings.It CAnt fly overland as the drag wouldnt allow for.It was to fly under the radar over the seas.Transporting the troops in WWII was a huge problem and howard hughes tranported 60% of all homebound troops that fly home after the war.Most rode back on the huge tranporter ships,Even the president rode on hughess aircrafts in WWII as the president didnt have aircraft.The knife edege effect was learned from sea birds which scim the water also.The hercules H-4 was the first giant sea plane built in a merica now we still don`t see too many but than it was a prototype that cost howard millions and millions of his own deep pockets STOCK HOLDER money meanwhile hollywood was broke until howard and disney got the presidents comissioning to get around the SS blocking hollywood movies around the world with a movie studio in mexico THE DREAM FACTORY
