He is writing about his dilemma because he has no proper place to be buried. His father died in a big house but his mother died in a shack house. He wondering where will he be buried when he died because he is half black , half white.

Poem by Langston Hughes - Cross
Langston Hughes is the son of a black woman and a white man. He never accepted by his father's family because his mother is a black woman. At that period, negro is still in the lower class of the society. They did not have any rights.
He is writing about his dilemma because he has no proper place to be buried. His father died in a big house but his mother died in a shack house. He wondering where will he be buried when he died because he is half black , half white.
He speaks about his emotion confusion towards his parents. Although he hates his parents but he still loves them. He lives in a confused world, where he lost in 'black or white world' and 'hate or love world'.
He is writing about his dilemma because he has no proper place to be buried. His father died in a big house but his mother died in a shack house. He wondering where will he be buried when he died because he is half black , half white.
