In Langston Hughes' "I, Too", he speaks of how segregation existed in his present times and how he had to show tolerance towards those who shun him, but how that would not always be the case. His metaphor begins when he states that people "... send me to eat in the kitchen." while everyone else eats at the table. So he's set aside and left behind by society while everyone else carries a normal life. However, he doesn't fall for self pity but "laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.", waiting for the day when he will <em>sit at the table</em> and no one will dare to send him away as they will be able to see his value.


This is an extended metaphor as it is not confined to a phrase or sentence, but rather used throughout the whole text.

Hughes uses the extended metaphor of "eating in the kitchen" to show racial inequality and segregation. At a time in the future, the speaker believes all men will be treated equally and the people who treated African Americans badly will be ashamed of their actions.

What are the two themes in the story the 1000000 bank note by mark twain
jarptica [38.1K]
The most prominent theme in the "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is the power of money. When the protagonist, Henry Adams, produces a million-pound note at the "cheap-eating house" and later at the tailor shop, the owners of both of these establishments think he is a wealthy man even though he is dressed in rags. They agree to let Adams pay at a later time, providing him with credit at their stores. Throughout the story, the protagonist receives special treatment and the attention of all classes of people in London without spending any money, simply because of his million-pound note; he is looked upon as a reliable and trustworthy gentleman. Several businessmen even buy stocks in a gold mine based solely on his recommendation.

Another key theme of the story is the protagonist’s transformation from rags to riches. Initially, the protagonist is wandering the streets as a penniless man who is hungry and homeless in a foreign land. However, after receiving the million-pound bank note from the two rich gentlemen, his life turns around and he quickly climbs the ladder of social hierarchy. He procures all the rich comforts and luxuries without actually spending any money and gains popularity among the upper class. He is even able to make some profit based on his reputation alone. After returning the million-pound note to its owners, Henry Adams is left with enough money to live in comfort for the rest of his life. And by the end of the story, he marries the daughter of one of the rich gentlemen who gave him the note.

A plot's climax is the point in time when all of the action, feelings, and tensions are at their peak. The audience is "thrilled to the top" at this point because they can't wait to see what happens next. The "falling action" and "resolution" follow the "climax."

When the major issue or dispute is resolved through action, the rising action takes place. The climax is always preceded by escalating action. The protagonist frequently faces a problem that heightens suspense during the growing action.
