- W2247177581 abstract "In his short story On the Road, Langston Hughes has created a powerful indictment of racial discrimination. On the Road is a prose poem, operating on several levels at once and drawing the reader into its center through the author's skillful use of imagery, symbolism, metaphor, and myth. What is real merges with what is real, affecting the reader more powerfully than could a more literal rendition of the same story line. The story opens with the snow, an image of quiet cold, the discomfort, aloofness, aloneness, a symbol of the oppressive white world that is making Sargeant so miserable and that he is trying so hard to ignore. He was not interested in the snow' is the first line of the first paragraph. . . Sargeant never even noticed the snow' is the second line. he must have felt it seeping down his neck4 cold, wet, sopping in his shoes (207). When one feels helpless against an oppressor, sometimes one cannot afford to that oppressor. Of course one always feels the oppression at some level. But part of trying to survive is not being aware-focusing on something else, like being hungry, too sleepy, too tired (207). In the same paragraph Hughes also writes, if you had asked him, he wouldn't have known it was snowing. Sargeant didn't see the snow, not even the bright lights of the main street, falling white and flaky against the night. The snow, like the white society it represents, inhabits that central place under the bright lights of the main street (207). And still Sargeant doesn't see it." @default.
