 Today in class we read the poem “I, Too” by Langston Hughes and analyzed it. The message of the poem is that everyone is created equal. He brings up that he’s a “darker brother” (black) and when food it brought out he’s not allowed to sit at the kitchen. This shows that he’s discrimination by the color of his skin. Later in the poem it says, “Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table when company comes”, meaning that in the future he’ll no longer be discriminated based off his skin and have equal rights.
