Hughes, Langston. "I also sing America." The New York Times, January 5, 2010: A16 online. [Summary] This poem is about minority work suffering from unfair labor difficulties, black men. Langston Hughes also made such a realistic and positive influence on reading and made me think about how to expect for the future. "But I laughed and eaten well, and it became stronger." This not only indicates that his body is getting stronger and stronger, but also in spirit he is a personal slave and hope for tomorrow Indicates not to accept,
Among 'I am too much', Langston Hughes makes it clear that Early poetry, Walt Whitman's "I heard American songs". Both verses are exploring the concept of American identity. What is the character of this country? However, the two poets reached different conclusions by answering these questions. Whitman is known as a typical American poet thanks to such poetry. Whitman's "My Own Song" centered on individuals, individuals (at least Whitman individuals) are multifaceted and comprehensive. In "I heard American songs", Whitman talks about different workers ("mechanics") of "various Carol", "carpenters", "mudlayers", "boat man", "decacer", "shoes I mentioned about ya. And "hat", "wooden knife", "ploughboy"). Whitman includes both sex workers in the list of "Mother", "Young Wife at Work", "Stitched or Washed Girl" on line 8.
I compare and contrast the two poems of Walt Whitman's "I heard American songs" and Langston Hughes's "I am also singing America"
Both verses mentioned "Sing" and "America". This is an interesting comparison of poetry combinations since Langston Hughes actually writes his poem as a response to Whitman in the decades. Whitman's poetry seems to celebrate different people differently because of different work and purpose, but when you sing a personal song it sounds beautiful. Langston Hughes wrote about what Americans mean, but his poem seems to remind the reader that not all Americans can fully participate in the way Whitman explains. Hughes said that when the company came to eat, he was "dark brother" sent to the kitchen. This indicates that many Americans have limited rights and do not have "table" or full access to the community.
