colors.

This poem has so many metaphors and symbols in such a small quantity. I
love breaking this down, but i am still confused. Is the "table" a symbol
of the projected views of americans during the 1920's or is it the view of
African Americans during the Harlem R...???

I think that Langhston Hughes is a very good writer. He is not ashamed to
say that his black skin is beutiful!!!

This is one of the greatest poems i have studied so far.It gives reference
to the Blacks living in America.I Too sing America and other poems by
Langston Hughes gave me much understanding about how the blacks were
treated in America.

I think this poem is very good...it gives the reader an insight into the
savage aspect of the American Dream, where equality, etc. is supposed to be
on eof the main beliefs. However, the white family (I presume) send their
black slave to the kitchen as they believe that Afro-American(?) is not
pure American. This goes against their claims therefore and also against
the religion of Christianity, which many Americans follow. Also, "They'll
see how beautiful I am and be ashamed" suggests to me that yes, the family
will be ashamed as deep down they know it is contradictory to act in this
way...however, it also suggests to me that the poet is perhaps also
American as far as personality is concerned as he too in concerned with
skin-deep beauty: something Westerners are renowned for.
Overall, a great poem.

confusing ways, i can completley understand and enjoy this particular poem
written by Langston hughes. He is an excellent writer.

well i am only 14 but i believe that this poem is beautiful.One of my
favorite parts is when Hughes says "Besides, they'll see how beautiful i am
and be ashamed".he is one of my all time favorite writers and i for one
think all his work is good!
