Simile

A simile is a comparison between two different things using like or as. In this the Air Force is being compared to eagles using the word like.

An understatement is a statement about the quality or condition of something that is actually less than it actually is. For example, "That car could use a day with the mechanic." In actuality, the car is so destroyed it probably needs to be considered a total loss and go to the junkyard. Rhetoric is persuasive speaking or writing. A hyperbole is an over exaggeration.

What does the speaker mean by tomorrow?
inna [77]

Answer:

in the future when there is equalit

Explanation:

The poem I, Too

BY LANGSTON HUGHES

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.

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.

What the speaker meant by tomorrow is "in the future when there is equality".

The poem is about racism in America again the black and how the black responded to it.

The blacks in America are hoping for equality in the future when they will be treated the same way whites are being treated and they will enjoy the same privilege as the whites.
