The Balance of Security and Courage

“Gumption” written by Langston Hughes, is based on two opposing opinions expressed
by Oyster and Sylvester, who is the narrator. Sylvester’s wife Clara, is telling her friends
about how Oyster, a man who was well known in the town, was incarcerated for assaulting a
government official. Oyster’s son was a journalist who was applying for a position at the local
newspaper; he was not accepted due to the color of his skin, when he clearly qualified for the
job. In response to what happened to his son, Oyster goes to the town hall to request that
he receives the position Oyster feels he rightfully deserves. Oyster is consequently arrested
for getting into a physical altercation with the guard. Afterwards, Oyster’s son is arrested for
attempting to defend his father. After quite a while in jail, the father and son were released.
Although they had gained their freedom, their lives had lost order. Due to the length of time
they were confined, they no longer had a home. Oyster also lost his job over the length of time
and with their new criminal records, it became even more difficult for them to find work.
