explain how Hughes uses poetic devices such as alliteration, assonance, consonance, and enjambment to reveal his theme in "Theme for English B."

The great advantage of poetry is that with the right choice of words, it can capture a whole scene in just one line of a stanza. It has the ability to offer hope from a painful experience and is something that a person can identify with; almost as if the poet and the reader become one. In his two poems, "Mother to Son" and "Harlem", Langston Hughes, shines light on the life and struggles of African-Americans ("The Poetry"). While the theme of both poems is centered on perseverance, Hughes skillfully uses figurative language, tone, and form and structure differently in each poem to depict the same message.
