"I, Too" and the American Dream by Ms. McManus https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04 How is America presented in this poem? Is the speaker living the American Dream? Why or Why not? en-us 2019-03-11 03:02:26 UTC 2019-03-12 17:44:41 UTC hello@padlet.com Dakota Caskey https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541321 The American dream is represented by showing how people can rise from poor to rich. The speaker is living the American Dream because he is going to get a better life. He will soon be eating at the the table, which means if you wait, success will come.]]> 2019-03-12 17:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541321 Austin Adams https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541400 This poem show the American Dream of fighting for equal rights and equality. I would say the speaker isn't so much living the American Dream but is chasing after the American Dream. As we see he is talking about one day being equal with the whites and not having to eat in the kitchen, but being able to sit and eat at the same table and this is his American Dream.]]> 2019-03-12 17:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541400 Taylor Strong https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541477 America is presented as racist in this poem. No the speaker is not living the American ream because he isn't being treated as the other people in America.]]> 2019-03-12 17:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541477 latavia Blake https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541644 America is presented a segregated because it says "I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen". I think he is living his own version of the america dream. It says "They'll see how beautiful I am and be ashamed- I, too am American" what that means is he is not letting what society says about African American bother him. ]]> 2019-03-12 17:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541644 Josie jwilliams1468 https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541670 America is presented as racism.
The speaker is living the American Dream because even though it is segregated he is still happy. ]]> 2019-03-12 17:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541670 David Freeman https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541673 1.Is presented as divided.

Right now the narrator is not living the American dream because they are segregated and don't have the same rules and freedoms of whites but the speaker is noting how living the American Dream will eventually come. ]]> 2019-03-12 17:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541789 Luke Harris https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541791 America is presented as racist. I'm not sure if he is living the American Dream because even though it is unfair, he says that he laughs, eats well, and grows strong. It could be both yes and no. ]]> 2019-03-12 17:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541791 ashanti https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340541866 The poem shows the American dream of the black culture wanting their freedom and equality.he is living the American dream by fighting.

No because he is facing injustice. Because he is being treated differently based on the color of his skin. ]]> 2019-03-12 17:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mcmanusm5/uyu3j4tnyb04/wish/340544080
