Question

The poems "1, Too" by Langston Hughes and "From the Dark Tower" by Countee Cullen both use figurative language to express their opinions about
racial segregation. Read each poem, and then match each characteristic to the correct poem.

Answer 1

Langston Hughes's "I, Too" uses free verse and references a Walt Whitman work.

Countee Cullen's "From the Dark Tower" is a paradox of social injustice that employs a set meter and rhyme scheme as a symbol of wasted effort.

What is the summary of the poem "I, Too"?

• He sings America as well. He calls himself "the darker brother," and although the white majority consistently keeps him concealed, preventing him from being viewed as an equal among males in his country, he is still a significant and essential part of America.

• Even though racism is the theme of the poem, the speaker and poet remain optimistic that one day soon, those in positions of power will feel embarrassed of how they have treated African Americans and realize that they are an integral part of the nation.
• There is no rhyme scheme or metrical pattern used by the poet. This gives the composition a more conversational vibe.
