Answer:

<em>From the Dark Tower</em> - paradox of social injustice, uses set meter and rhyme scheme, symbol of wasted efforts

<em>I, Too</em> - references a Walt Whitman work, uses free verse

Explanation:

Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen were very significant poets who belonged to the Harlem Renaissance movement.

Cullen's poem <em>From the Dark Tower</em> tells about the paradox of social injustice. White people have always oppressed African Americans, and this is present in the given poem as well. African Americans are the ones doing the work, and white people don't allow them to be rewarded for their effort. This is why their efforts are wasted.

It's written in a set meter called iambic pentameter. The rhyme scheme is <em>abab.</em>

<em>I, Too</em> references Whitman's poem called<em> I Hear America Singing</em>. It's written using free verse. This is why it doesn't have a set meter or rhyme, unlike <em>From the Dark Tower.</em>

<span>It is really a lot of fun. 

This sentence is not necessary in the paragraph because it does not add any helpful information about how to forage, what to look for, or other things you could get out of the experience. It just adds the detail that it's fun, which is subjective and maybe not true for everyone. </span>
