T​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​he excerpt from Drake and Cayton’s Black Metropolis: A Study of Negro Life in a Northern City is titled “The Spirit of Bronzeville.” The recurrent themes which were identified as part of the Chicago Renaissance were Home, Travel, The Struggle to Survive to Make it Through, Getting Ahead, Religion, Having a Good Time, Music, Serving Time, and Love. Richard Wright, who wrote the introduction to Black Metropolis, is the author of The Man Who Lived Underground. Some of the themes mentioned above are evident in this work of Wright’s. Choose one or two of these themes and discuss in this journal. Alternatively, you could address the issues in McPherson’s A Loaf of Bread. This story seems particularly relevant still. When we look at Mr. Green’s feelings that “I did not make the world,” Green said. “My father came to this country with nothing but his shirts.” . . . “I did not make this world,” he repeated. “I only make my way in it. Such people as these, they do not know enough to not be exploited. If I close down, take my word on it someone else would do what has to be done.” do we think he might feel limited with his sense of “I only make my way in it?” Or is he merely justifying his behaviors and attitude? By the end of the story, do you think there is any more understanding (or at least acknowledgement) of Reed and Green? Any o​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ther focus is important as well.The excerpt from Drake and Cayton’s Black Metropolis: A Study of Negro Life in a Northern City is titled “The Spirit of Bronzeville.” The recurrent themes which were identified as part of the Chicago Renaissance were Home, Travel, The Struggle to Survive to Make it Through, Getting Ahead, Religion, Having a Good Time, Music, Serving Time, and Love.
