Robert E. Lee wrote a letter while Langston Hughes wrote a poem. Both writers give similar advice, and both use images to emphasize their main ideas. But each writer uses a different form of writing to communicate his message: Robert E. Lee wrote a letter, while Langston Hughes wrote a poem. Compare the two forms of writing, and answer this question: Which did you find more persuasive, the letter or the poem? Why? Think about these questions as you prepare your response. Use specific examples from the texts. Which piece was easier for you to understand? Which piece gave stronger reasons and evidence? Which piece drew the reader's attention most toward an image? Which piece inspired you more? Why?
