=Task III = 1- Imagery: descriptive words used to create a picture 1a- Darker brother, kitchen, when company comes, beautiful 1b- By saying "darker brother", it's helps me figure out the setting and what America was like in this poem. "Kitchen" was a place of work and it gives a more precise setting. "When company comes" implies that the family this slave works for may possibly be rich and also brings an image of multiple people coming to a house. By saying "beautiful" that shows that the author of this understands their situation, but in a way also gives a good idea of the type of person the author is and it also helps soften the poem and the situation.

2- Metaphor: comparison between two or more different things 2a- Sing America 2b- To sing America would mean to be a part of America. To be an American citizen and to proud of who you are and where you came from. It also means that they are proud of who they are. America is known as "the home of the brave" and every anthem that is said or sung is meant to be expressed with great pride. To sing America would be to represent, live and love what America stands for.

3- Symbol: something that has a hidden meaning and is important to the text 3a- Kitchen 3b- Langston Hughes uses the symbol of the kitchen to display being hidden.
