Can you help me
Find this class?
Tan heels clicking down the hall,
Keys dangling and jingling
With every step.

“Okay ladies and gentlemen,
You have five minutes.
Let’s get there on time.

Running,
Somewhat bumping
Eachother
As they all jet to their classes.

M101…M101…M101                                OMG!
I don’t see
A M101.

Hey, excuse me.
I’m new here;

Sure, go straight down
O wing.
It’s the 3rd connecting hallway.                  Wait.
Freshman don’t
Have classes in
M wing.
*Flips schedule around*

This says W101.
OH.                                                                                                                                            Janai Hansberry
In the poem “Wrong Wing” Hansberry chose to have many stanzas and line breaks. Hansberry uses the stanzas to show the dialogue between the senior and the freshman. She wants it to be clear when a different person is speaking. Hansberry also uses line breaks in the poem to indicate when the senior or the freshman pauses in their sentence. Hansberry clearly and effectively used imagery in this poem. Hansberry allows the reader to clearly imagine the interactions between the senior and freshman.
