Hughes, Langston. "Me too. Sing America. » New York Times January 5, 2010: A16 online. [Summary] This poem is about the struggle of a minority of workers, a black man, suffering from the difficulties of an unfair job. Langston Hughes also gives a real and positive impact on the reading, making them think about how they can be hopeful for the future. "But Ilaugh, and eat well, and become strong." This suggests not only that he is becoming stronger physically but also mentally, indicating that he does not take slavery personally and is hopeful for tomorrow and he knows that tomorrow will be better. and he believes that slavery will be stopped and that white people will see how beautiful his people are and appreciate them. In the poem, Hughes states "I am the darker brother", although his skin is darker, nevertheless, he is a brother, a part of society, he is America. Then he goes on to say that when company arrives, he is sent to the kitchen. “But I laugh, I eat well, and I get strong.” This kind of positive, humorous and ironic tone foreshadows hope and determination later in the poem. The second stanza symbolizes growth. The first stanza being the present and the second stanza the future. Then in the last stanza he states "They'll see how beautiful I am", yes, just like the song America the Beautiful. Then the next line says "And be ashamed--" They will be ashamed for bringing down America the Beautiful, America. , the black man, the worker...America.[Analysis of style]"I too, I sing about America". This particular meter is as important as the whole poem. This doesn't just mean that white people are in the middle of the paper and loud sounds express the poet's feelings towards racism. Me Too is an anti-discrimination poem, which shows the injustice of racism. The poem is very effective because of its genuine emotions. The poem is set in America and describes a black man's personal experience with racial discrimination. He is treated as if he is a nuisance to white people and made to feel inferior to them. The poet attempts to show how America “covers up” its “problems” of racial discrimination. He also wants to convey the importance of racial equality. He wants the reader to understand that this is not just a personal experience, but the voice of his people. The tone changes throughout the poem.
