In the poem "I, Too, Sing America" by Langston Hughes the speaker's resentful optimism shows his bitterness towards the way he is treated but his confidence in that some day he will be treated equally. Even though the speaker is mistreated now, because of his color, he knows if he tries hard enough that he will soon come out on top. He puts what everyone else sees him as behind him, because he knows they'll be ashamed once they see whats coming.

This paragraph needs to be focused on one of the poems we discussed on our discussion board. Either analyze "I Hear America Singing" or "I, Too, Sing America."
