 * //A Black Man Talks of Reaping//**

The synthetic theme of this literary poem is the familiar streaks of **hardship**, because of the intensity the black man brings upon the field.


 * //Storm Ending//**

The literal theme of the poem or the author's message is that a thunder storm can be pleasant and captivating, that they can be gorgeous instead of just bringing apprehension into people's hearts. Nature is beautiful and should be appreciated. The double meaning that this poem can provide is that the storm relates to the ending of slavery. The rumbling are the shouts of joy from freed slaves. The clapping is also from the freed slaves. The rain are the tears of joy. The sun coming out from the thunder symbolizes the happiness and ending of slavery.
