Compare and Contrast

In the two Poems "Between the world and Me" and "The South" They compare lynching to the south and how terrible it was for the black community. Hughes writes "Scratching in the dead fire's ashes for a Negro's bones"  while Wright wrights "And the down and quills  of the white feathers sank into my raw flesh,I moaned in my agony. In The south it talks more about the culture of the south and how Hughes liked the south but it didn't like him back, so he has to move north. Also he uses personification by giving the south human characteristics. Between the World and Me talk all about the lynching. Lynching was so awful for the black community because and any moment it could be them being killed instead of them watching which makes it so frighting for them.
