The mood or tone they convey. They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong . . .

(from "I, Too" by Langston Hughes)

Pride and Defiance

Explanation:

The tone of the poem is pride and defiance. It speaks of a racial divide in America that white people are perfectly content to ignore. Sending the speaker to the kitchen to eat can be symbolic of segregation, but also of America's desire to ignore the race problem. Kind of like out of sight and out of mind.

samuel gompers was an extremely important person in the american labor movement, being him an employee all his life he devoted himself to fight for the rights of his pairs, he believed they all had the right to have better thing and that they all were working for them but the factory workers were greedy, ambitions and socialist people for him who he didn't have a good concept of.

he gave so many speeches and led so many strikes and protest to fight for equality which he considered employers didn't want to accept, so he had an absolutely negative opinion of them.
