In this excerpt from william dean howells's "editha," which sentences contain sarcasm? "no, you didn't expect him to get killed," mrs. gearson repeated, in a voice which was startlingly like george's again. "you just expected him to kill some one else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches--conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. you thought it would be all right for my george, your george, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of." the woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalmlike note. "i my god he didn't live to do it! i my god they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands! " she dropped her eyes, which she had raised with her voice, and glared at editha. "what you got that black on for? " she lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her body seemed to hang limp its full length. "take it off, take it off, before i tear it from your back! "

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.
