Explanation:

The allusion that Hughes makes in his poem is a reference to the poem "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman. An allusion is an indirect reference that an author makes to a thing, person, place or idea from an unrelated context. In this poem, the author wants the reader to recognize that he, just like the characters of Whitman's poem, is a vital part of America, despite the exclusion and racism that he suffers in his daily life.

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.
