1.Why did I choose this poem? &my understanding

Reason—Be Inspired The Great Debaters——a inspiring poem for the African Americans. Hope Ambitions Confidence Justice Fairness Racial equality

2.What the poem is about?

The Poem I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then. Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed-- I, too, am America.

Analysis-- The title Allusion Walt Whitman, "I Hear America Singing" – The reference here is in the title of Hughes's poem. It's a reference and response: "I, too, sing America.’’ Metaphorical meaning America is like a song made up of many different voices singing. Here the author just adds another voice to this song of America – the voice of black Americans.—— Equality

Analysis-- The themes Racial equality Refuse to buckle the awful racial oppression→ a brighter future → recognize black Americans as equal as white Americans Freedom The big goal--Very confident (future tense) Looking forward to the day America fulfills her promise of freedom.
