I, Too, Sing America by Langston Hughes
I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America

Read the poem above and discuss how the elements of this poem add to its emotional impact. What is the rhyme pattern? How does the punctuation affect your reading? Notice the word “then” in the second stanza, it seems to stand alone. How is that symbolic of the meaning of the poem?
Answer: there are many commas to slow down the reader- making it kind of choppy but effective. There is no rhyme pattern. The word then does stand alone just as the speaker feels he stands alone in America.

The following passage was written by Frederick Douglass, a former slave and a leader of the
abolitionist movement. Select the best evidence to support the statement that enslaved
family members were often separated from one another.
My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant-before I knew her as
my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran
away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age.. .For what this
separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the
child's affection towards its mother, and to blunt and destroy the natural affection
of the mother for the child. This is the inevitable result.

Read the excerpt from “The Lottery.” Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother's grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones. His father spoke up sharply, and Bobby came quickly and took his place between his father and his oldest brother. Explain what is learned by the actions of the characters in the excerpt. The lottery was a happy occasion because the men told jokes, the children laughed, and the women were able to exchange gossip. The lottery may not have been a happy occasion because the men smiled rather than laughed, and the children were apparently very hesitant to join their families when it started. Most of the villagers were indifferent about the lottery since it was held every year, and they already knew the outcome this time. Most of the villagers were ready to do away with the lottery since it was an outdated custom, carried over from years past.
