Langston Hughes's Poem In 'I Continum To Dream'

Staying Confident
Langston Hughes’s poem, I continue to dream, has a lot of similarities to the song Masterpiece, written by Jessie J. They both contain confidence within each piece and both pieces send the same message to their audience. The common message is to not listen to any of the negative comments and carry on with your own personal growth and goals in life. Even though they are both written in two different time periods, they both carry and show the same vision.
