The painting "The Aspects of Negro Life: An Idyll of the Deep South" by Aaron Douglas depicts slaves going about their daily activities. Some slaves are are working in the field and some are playing instruments. But one slaves attention is captured by a very bright star in the sky. This painting shows hope because he is looking to the star for hope.

I really liike this poem becase it describes the peace of New York before the sun rises. The details are very vivid and paint a clear picture dawn in New York.
