Salvation Langston Hughes
The Christianity meaning of salvation is the act of delivering from sin or saving from evil. ... A little boy’s view of salvation made him confused, misled and lost. The little 12-year-old boy in Langston’s Hughes’ “Salvation” was confused because of what his aunt told him about what will happen when you become saved, but what she failed to remember is that he is only 12 years old. ... Something that he heard from his aunt ends up being a misrepresentation of salvation. ... Being a child, he did not realize that salvation came from within, and not what others had told him, so he was lost. ... At the same time, they were letting him down by a misrepresentation of salvation.
