JCP+Langston+Hughes+Purpose

The purpose of this poem was to talk about life. In this poem Langston Hughes compares a broken-winged bird to a persons life. HOW? Langston Hughes also talks about barren fields frozen with snow. "Life is like a barren field frozen with snow" is another line that talks about life. (Avoiding repeating lines). In my opinion this poem is focusing on a persons life and what happens to them. In my opinion the message of this poem is that everyone has a life that has to be filled. ( A bit vague: how does this link back to the poem? the theme?) Sometimes what you do in your life could mess you up, like how a bird losses a wing, but in the end you have to continue on.
