VAGABONDS

 

This poem was made by Langston Hugles. This is about the problem of homeless. The poet talks the reader about the life of a people that don't have a home.

That poem hasn't got a setting. It is setted in the world, generally speaking.

The charaters are vagabonds. In the text, the poet never says "Vagabonds" or "Homeless". But you can easily understand that he's talking about them, because he says they have nowhere to sleep or eat.

But the first sentence is interesting: in that phrase he consider himself an homeless too ( We are the disperate...)

The author seems not be have expectation for this problem, like it would never be solved. No solution is suggested.
