read the excerpt below from the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky and complete the instruction that follows.

wow. wow. i can paint the picture for you if you like. we are all sitting in sam and patrick's house, which i had never seen before. it was a rich house. very clean. and we were all giving our final presents. the outside lights were on, and it was snowing, and it looked like magic. like we were somewhere else. like we were someplace better.

it was the first time i had ever met sam and patrick's parents. they were so nice. sam's mom is very pretty and tells great jokes. sam said she used to be an actress when she was younger. patrick's dad is very tall and has a great handshake. he is also a very good cook. a lot of parents make you feel very awkward when you meet them. but not sam and patrick's. they were friendly all through dinner, and when dinner was over, they left so we could have our party. they didn't even check on us or anything. not once. they just let us pretend it was our house. so, we decided to have the party in the "games" room, which had no games but a great rug.

when i revealed that i was patrick's secret santa, everyone laughed because everyone knew, and patrick did his best impersonation of being surprised, which was nice of him. then, everyone asked what my last gift was, and i told them it was a poem i read a long time ago. it was a poem that michael made a copy of for me. and i have read it a thousand times since because i don't know who wrote it. i don't know if it was ever in a book or a class. and i don't know how old the person was. but i know that i want to know him or her. i want to know that this person is okay.

The harlem renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. although legally "free," many african americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries. identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the harlem renaissance. furthermore, the values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. as hughes expresses in "dream variations," all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. what role does freedom play in the poems you read in this unit? what is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity? write about at least three of the poems, describing how the poet uses imagery to depict freedom and identity, the lack of it, or the desire for it.
