Comparing a Poem and The opening of The Souls of Black Folk
Today, after discussion, we will read the poem, We Wear The Mask by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. As we read answer the following:
1.How can a mask be like a veil? How is a mask different from a veil? Which has a more negative connotation? Why?
2. What masks do you wear throughout the day?
3. What masks do you think members of minority communities often wear? Why? What might happen if they took off this mask?
4. Connect Dunabr's concept of a mask with Dubois concept of a veil. How are they similar and different.
