Both "Why We Wear Masks" and "I, too" by Paul Laurence Dunbar and Langston Hughes are similar in tone which is one of determination in making the society better. Dunbar shows in his poem that all is not well in the American society and the situation for the African Americans was not as good as it seemed. So he spoke out with determination in order to make the situation better. Hughes also spoke with determination about perseverance in the African American battle for equality which was long way from over.
