Hughes, Langston. "Me too. Sing America.”New York Times January 5, 2010: A16Online.[Summary]This poem is about the struggle of a working minority, a black man, who suffers the hardships of an unjust job. Langston Hughes has such a real and positive impact on reading too, that it makes them think about how they can hope for the future. ''But laugh, and eat well, and become strong'' This not only suggests that he is becoming stronger physically but also mentally, which states that he does not take slavery personally and hopes for tomorrow and knows that tomorrow will be better and believes that slavery will be stopped and that white people will see how beautiful its people are and appreciate them. In the poem, Hughes states "I am the darker brother", although his skin is darker, yet he is a brother, a part of society, he is America. Then he continues by saying that when someone arrives they send him to the kitchen. "But I laugh, and I eat well, and I get strong." This kind of positive, fun, yet ironic tone foreshadows hope and determination, later in the poem. The second verse symbolizes growth. The first stanza is the present and the second the future. Then in the last verse she states "They'll see how beautiful I am", yes, just like the song, America the Beautiful. Then the next line says "And shame on you..." They will be ashamed that they brought down America the Beautiful, America , the boogeyman, the worker...America.[Style Analysis]"I sing America too." This meter in particular is as important as the entire poem. It means that not only white people are...... center of the card ......d strong sounds to express the poet's feelings towards racism. I, Too is an anti-discrimination poem, showing the injustice of racism. Poetry is very effective for its authentic emotions. The poem is set in America and describes a black man's personal experience with racial discrimination. He is treated as if he is an embarrassment to white people and made to feel inferior to them. The poet is trying to show how America “hides” its “problems” of racial discrimination. He also wants to convey the importance of racial equality. He wants the reader to understand that this is not just a personal experience, but the voice of his people. The tone changes throughout the poem.
