Can you find that attitude today? Where?
Are there words in Brooks’ poem you might have to look up?
“Harlem” has always been a very popular poem.
What is the mood conveyed by the poem?

Please give examples for all of your responses–as always, more is better.
I need two different answers for each question. The meaning of the answers can be similar, but the content cannot be exactly the same. The length of each answer should not be too short.
