An Analysis Of Walt Whitman's I Hear America Singing

Walt Whitman wrote "I Hear America Singing" from a white man's point of view. He wrote about how different workers sing while they work because they are happy. The white man owns his boat and bench where he works on shoes.
Langston Hughes is a black man who wrote "I, Too, Sing America". Mr. Hughes calls himself the darker brother. He works for white people who send him to the kitchen to eat when company comes. He dreams of the day when white people will be ashamed they made him eat in the kitchen instead of letting him join the company as they ate.
Both men consider themselves Americans even though they had different experiences.
