Singing America Now
After reading "I, Too" by Langston Hughes and "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman, choose one of the options below and write a response poem.
Whitman: Imagine Whitman were alive today. Write an updated version of "I Hear America Singing" and include the sights, sounds, and workers of today. Write between 10-12 lines, mimicking Whitman's style.
Consider today's laborers and the theme (and TONE) you want to take in your poem --> you don't have to have a positive tone if you choose.
Hughes: Select someone whose voice you don't think is always "heard" in our country, the same way Hughes speaks of African Americans during the 1920s. Write an "I, Too" poem using that person as the speaker. It should be between 10-12 lines and mimic Hughes' style.
Possible subjects/speakers: immigrants, young people, senior citizens, homeless, etc.

Answer and Explanation:

Let's go with the second option: an "I, Too" poem mimicking Hughes' style. Our speaker is an immigrant.

I, too, sing America.

I am the one they ignore.

They send me to the kitchen

and I cook for them,

hear them laugh,

drink and eat.

I am the one who raises their children.

I know their names,

dreams,

fears.

But they don't ask me

about my own.

Some are there

who want me gone.

Some build walls

literally.

But I still come

and I still work

and I survive.

I, too, am America.

excerpt from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Letter I.
To Mrs. Saville, England.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 11th, 17--.
You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings. I arrived here yesterday; and my first task is to assure my dear sister of my welfare, and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking.
I am already far north of London; and as I walk in the streets of Petersburg, I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves, and fills me with delight. Do you understand this feeling?

Bobby wanted to earn extra money, so his parents helped him get a job delivering papers. He had to wake up every morning at 5 a.m. to fold the newspapers. He would then pack them in the sack on his back and ride around the neighborhood, throw the paper on the driveways. A few times, his toss was off and the paper landed on the wet grass. He know he should probably return to the house and place the paper on the driveway, but his arm usually was accurate. He figured he could always pretend he did not notice – especially if no one complained. Bobby really did not like the job, but he forced himself to do it every morning. About three months into the job, he decided it was not worth the extra money. He told his boss that he wanted to quit, but offered to complete the last week of the month because he knew he would have to find a new delivery person.

In "Sonnet 73," How does the poet use descriptions of the last golden leaves on a tree and the last flames of a dying fire to reflect irony? I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST!

SONNET 73
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
5 In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire
10 That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long
