When we hear about death we imagine something scary‚ such as The Grim Reaper. In our minds The Grim Reaper is a tall‚ dark figure who’s wasting no time on bringing you along with him.

During the time of the Harlem Renaissance‚ literature written by “colored folks” tended to have similar tones‚ messages‚ and visuals. These connections can be seen between the poems “We Wear The Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar‚ “If We Must Die” by Claude McKay‚ and an excerpt from Invisible man by Ralph Ellison‚ “Battle Royal.” A common tone between the three pieces would be pride.
