i, too sing America

the poem I, Too, Sing America by langston hughes sounds very complicating.in reality it isn't as complicated as it sounds. the poem is about an african american servant not being able to eat at the table. The family tells him that when they have company that he has to go eat alone in the kitchen and not at the table. The man doesn't seem so bothered by it, he even laughs because he isn't ashamed of who he is. He then says "Tomorrow, I'll be at the table, When company comes." it sounds as if he says it firmly and he wont take no as an answer. he also says that they will seen then that he's beautiful, to me that shows that he is proud of who he is and that color means nothing, and when they see it they will be the ones with their heads down in shame, as he eats without a problem.

the other poem sounds as if the person is angry at their so called "öwners". it sounds as if the slave is fed up with just staying quiet and is ready to speak up for what they think is right and wrong. it also looks as if the person is ready to speak up and say that they should be equal and not be seperated by color.

- the vark questionaire didn't really help me on this. as my blog says that i learn by seeing or being shown, it didn't help at all that i had to read everything on my own. have to read the poems at least 3 times to try and understand a little.
