3. “I, Too, Sing America” By Langston Hughes
3.1. Tone: Confident
3.1.1. Text Evidence: “But I laugh, / and eat well / and grow strong” (Hughes 5-7). The writer, if he were reading his poem out loud, would sound confident when he reads this piece of text.
3.1.1.1. Mood: Inspired
3.1.1.2. Text Evidence: “Tomorrow,/ I´ll be at the table/ when company comes./ Nobody´ll dare/ say to me, / “Eat in the kitchen,”/ then” (Hughes 8-14). The narrator, even with his unfair treatment, still has hope that he will be able to sit at the table with everyone else, and no one will send him away. The narrator still having faith in sitting with everyone else despite his skin color is very inspirational.
3.1.1.2.1. Who is considered as a part of this America?: People who have white skin are considered American because the poem reads, “I am the darker brother./ They send me to eat in the kitchen/ when company comes” (Hughes 2-4). That means that the white Americans treat the darker skinned Americans unfairly; they have the narrator eat in the kitchen while everyone else eats at the table. However, the poem also says, “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” (Hughes 8-18). That means the narrator knows that someday the white Americans will let him eat at the table instead of the kitchen, and they´ll be ashamed for not seeing the narrator as an American before.
