Journal 4 Angela de Hoyos and Langston Hughes

Requirements:  1 page journal, 3 underlined vocabulary words, 3 quotes (with lines #, poem included).

Compare the speakers's declaration of his own beauty in Hughes's "I, Too" with the opening verses of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself."  How are the two speakers alike/different?  

Angela de Hoyo's speaker in "To Walt Whitman" offers a challenge to Whitman.  What would de Hoyos like to have added to or changed about Whitman's portrayal of America?  

I recommend organizing your journal with an INTRO, 2 body paragraphs (one for each question) and a conclusion.
