And torn from Black Africa’s strand I came"

1. "Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark? / And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?"
2. Who are you to mumble around in the dark? And who are you to bring darkness over the stars?
3.  The first line refers to black Americans. It asks why they accept the censorship white Americans have put over them. Why do they sit motionlessly in the dark and mumble to themselves without taking a stand? Why can't they convey their opinions? The second line refers to white Americans. It asks why they put censorship over black Americans. Why do they treat their fellow citizens with such disrespect? Why do they prevent them from achieving the American Dream?

There is a social barrier (as represented by the veil) put up by white people to hinder black people from reaching their true potential (as represented as the stars.)

1. "We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain"
2. The denotation would be that people need to save America and make it the way it was meant to be. Try to not ruin it.
3. The connotation would be that people need to fix how America is and make it the way people say that it is. America is a pretty place, but it still needs to be fixed in a way that makes it nice/equal for everyone.

My group has decided on using lines 19-23 "I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart, I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars, I am the red man driven from the land, I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek- And finding only the same old stupid plan of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak"

The literal meanings of this is salves with scars, and the Native Americans having their land stolen. But the connotation of these things is the sad truths of Americas past, that we try to cover with the name "The land of the free".

1. Out of the rack and ruin of our gangster death,
The rape and rot of graft, and stealth, and lies,
We, the people, must redeem
The land, the mines, the plants, the rivers.
The mountains and the endless plain—

All, all the stretch of these great green states—
And make America again!

2. The literal meaning of this is that the people of America want their land back to the way they built it.

3. The nuanced meaning of this is bringing to mind the beauty of America before all the bad things happened; he wants America to be the original America again.

1. "The land that's mine—the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME—
Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,
Must bring back our mighty dream again."
2.  These people were the people who actually built America. It was their work that propelled America to where it is today.
3.  Hughes is saying that the same people who are being oppressed are the same people who worked for America and deserve to achieve their American Dream, yet they never got to be a part of the American Dream.

Line 25- " I am the young man, full of strength and hope"

Literal means that This young is so full of hope.

Abstract/emotional meaning: That he has so much hope that they could change things.

Line 17-18: "Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark?
And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?"

Literal meaning: People are saying negative things about America.

Emotional meaning: People don't agree that America is treating them fairly so they are speaking against it.

# data[].attributes.body
"And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?"
The literal meaning of this line is darkness being strewn across the stars, this would make the sky dark, and remove possibilities of light being shown.
The abstract meaning of this line would be that someone is that has this opportunity taking the same opportunity away from those who need it. This is also convincing a sense of losing hope because the people are covering the stars with a veil, so the people who are trying to wish on stars are starting to lose hope in their dreams.

1. One example of imagery from the poem Let America be America Again is "I am the Negro bearing slavery's scars.
I am the red man driven from the land,..."
2. The literal meaning of these two sentences are that everyday in America is seems as though black people are reminded that they were once slaves to the white man, and the second sentence means that the Native Americans that lived on this land first were driven away by colonizers.
3. The connotations of these sentences give me the feelings that slavery was so painful and terrorizing for the people that were enslaved, that Hughes' feels as though he still was being brought down by the effects of slavery and felt the scars that the slaves had been put through before. The second sentence also makes me think of the Native Americans being literally ran from their land instead of being brutally murdered and tortured.

1.)Line:65 "The land that's mine—the poor man's, Indian's, Negro's, ME—
Who made America;" "Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain, Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain,"

2.) The literal meaning is showing how the laborers were very hard working basically putting their sweat, blood, and tears into their work to show how determine and hardworking they were back then.

3.) The emotional meaning is the physical pain they endured due to the hierarchy that was present at the moment. It shows how hard they work because they were forced, which is why they had to put their sweat and blood into it.

# data[].attributes.body
My group said line 66-67 as our example of imagery which says, "Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,". The literal meaning of these two lines are minorities working hard. The more emotional aspect of these two lines seems to be that everyone can make America America again. It doesn't just have to be people of higher class with more freedom, but rather any and everyone.
