opinions about racial segregation. Read each poem, and then match each characteristic to the correct poem.
I, too
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

The dark tower
We shall not always plant while others reap
The golden increment of bursting fruit,
Not always countenance, abject and mute,
That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap;
Not everlasting while others sleep
Shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute,
Not always bend to some more subtle brute;
We were not made to enterally to weap.

1) a reference to Walt Whitman's, "I hear america singing."
2) paradox of social injustice
3) uses set meter and rhyme scheme
4) symbol of wasted efforts
5) tone of anger and resentment
6) uses free verse
