understanding about black culture in america.her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. she also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. but her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. she was an expert at the language of poetry. she combined traditional european poetry styles with the african american experience.in her early poetry, gwendolyn brooks wrote about the south side of chicago. the south side of chicago is where many black people live. in her poems, the south side is called bronzeville. it was “a street in bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. the bronzeville poems were her first published collection.in 1950, gwendolyn brooks became the first african american to win the pulitzer prize for literature. she won the prize for her second book of poems called “annie allen”. “annie allen” is a collection of poetry about the life of a bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and mother. she experiences loneliness, loss, death and being poor. ms. brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.her next work was a novel written in 1953 called “maud martha”. “maud martha” received little notice when it was first published. but now it is considered an important work by some critics. its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.in some of her poems, gwendolyn brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. one example is this poem, “corners on the curving sky”by the end of the 1960s, gwendolyn brookss poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in bronzeville. she wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues. 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了非裔美国女诗人gwendolyn brooks在诗歌文学上的成就和贡献。5what does the text mainly talk

else.i had once helped a friend of mine run a watermelon stall. i noticed something interesting when people came to buy watermelons, but nobody paid any attention to it because it seemed to be a common practice: almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear, smartly rap it, apparently trying to listen to something. i wondered what they expected to hear. finally i could no longer hold back my curiosity and made bold to ask a customer an elderly gentleman about this. hearing my question, he roared with laughter. then he replied in a selfmocking tone，“young lady, i have been doing this for more than fifty years. but all i know is that everybody would stare at you like you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave.”not long after that, my watermelon stall friend sent me an invitation to her wedding, which really surprised me. i asked her, “how come youre seized by a sudden whim to get married? i even didnt know you had got a boyfriend.” she answered while counting money, “everyone has to get married anyway. so, it is better to get married sooner than later.”have they forgotten their own heart? it may be safer and save a lot more worries to
