1.Consider point of view. In what way does Hughes suggest that race impacts the American experience? 2.Consider when each poet lived. They lived a difference of nearly 100 years. What social changes / events might have influenced their views of the American experience? 3.Compare the connotation that each poem uses to define America. What does each poem suggest about the American experience? 4.In what ways does Whitman use repetition? Consider how this repetition impacts the mood / feel of the poem. 5.Compare the first and last line of Hughes poem. What might be meant by the difference of “sing” and “am” America?

Homework: 6. In the form of a thoughtful poem (at least 8 lines long) write your song of America.
