Read the poem I too below to answer QUESTIONS 4 to 7.

I, Too

Langston Hughes - 1901-1967

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.
