Words Like Freedom

by Langston Hughes

There are words like Freedom

Sweet and wonderful to say

On my heartstrings freedom sings

All day everyday.


There are words like Liberty

That almost make me cry.

If you had known what I know

You would know why.



Highlight the figurative language used to describe freedom in line 3.

Is this a metaphor or personification?

It is a personification.

What emotional effect does this figurative language create? (How does it make you feel?)

In Line 6, highlight the speaker’s reaction to the word liberty.

How has the tone changed from the first to the second stanza?
