The poems “i, too” by langston hughes and “from the dark tower” by countee cullen both use figurative language to express their opinions about racial segregation. read each poem, and then match each characteristic to the correct poem.

i, too
tomorrow,
i'll be at the table
when company comes.
nobody'll dare
say to me
"eat in the kitchen,"
then.

the dark tower
we shall not always plant while others reap
the golden increment of bursting fruit,
not always countenance, abject and mute,
that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap;
not everlasting while others sleep
shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute,
not always bend to some more subtle brute;
we were not made to enterally to weap.

now match each characteristic to the correct poem.
1) a reference to walt whitman's, "i hear america singing."
2) paradox of social injustice
3) uses set meter and rhyme scheme
4) symbol of wasted efforts
5) tone of anger and resentment
6) uses free verse

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.
