Answer from: jazzwok

This poem is rather well known. It is part of the Harlem Renaissance.

It's theme is that the "darker brothers" have been treated as second class citizens.

But the speaker eats well and has become strong. He will one day be recognized and when that day comes, he will be looked upon as a first class citizen.

Not only that he will be beautiful which is a bonus. No one would dare question his right to sit at the table with all the other honored guests.

The theme of "I, Too" by Langston Hughes is that of freedom.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's poem "I, Too" is part of the Harlem Renaissance that shows the black narrator talking about his same citizenship but albeit the rights enjoyed by the whites.

The speaker who identifies himself as "the darker brother" talks of how he was treated whenever guests come in the house. He is sent "to eat in the kitchen", away from the gaze of the guests just because of his darker skin color. He talks of the racism he is subjected to, the freedom he craves and is entitled to and his ambition for the future. He knows that he is the same as the white brothers, for he too, is an American.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
