=Task 3=

1) (a) Imagery - visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work

(b) Darker brother – person in the story, main character

Kitchen – setting

But I laugh – laughing at people in the kitchen while having a dinner with family

2) (a) Metaphor - a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable

(b) America – I am America, “equal”

Brother – same family, still human beings, just different physical characteristics

3) (a) Symbol - a symbol is investigated with significance beyond what it would carry on its own

(b) In this poem, I think that the symbol is the kitchen because it shows him growing up. This is important throughout the poem because in the beginning, he is a young boy who eats in the kitchen while all the adults eat in the dining room. In the end of the poem, he too, eats in the dining room with the adults and it shows that he is just like everyone else, but in his own special way.
