Read the excerpt then answer the question: Excerpt from "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" by Langston Hughes
..And so the word white comes to be unconsciously a symbol of all virtues. It holds for the children beauty, morality, and
money. The whisper of "I want to be white" runs silently through their minds. This young poet's home is, I believe, a fairly
typical home of the colored middle class. One sees immediately how difficult it would be for an artist born in such a
home to interest himself in interpreting the beauty of his own people. He is never taught to see that beauty. He is taught
rather not to see it, or if he does, to be ashamed of it when it is not according to Caucasian patterns."
In at least 150 words, discuss the unconscious symbol of whiteness that is examined in "The Negro Artist and the Racial
Mountain." Where does it come from, and why does it have the potential to be so damaging?

One element of lyric poetry is personal reflection. which lines in this poem most clearly illustrate that element? i wandered lonely as a cloudby william wordsworthi wandered lonely as a cloudthat floats on high o'er vales and hills,when all at once i saw a crowd,a host, of golden daffodils; beside the lake, beneath the trees,fluttering and dancing in the breeze.continuous as the stars that shineand twinkle on the milky way.they stretched in never-ending linealong the margin of a bay: ten thousand saw i at a glance,tossing their heads in sprightly dance.the waves beside them danced; but theyout-did the sparkling waves in glee: a poet could not but be gay.in such a jocund company: i gazed and gazed—but little thoughtwhat wealth the show to me had brought: for oft, when on my couch i liein vacant or in pensive mood,they flash upon that inward eyewhich is the bliss of solitude; and then my heart with pleasure fills,and dances with the daffodils.
