poem notes

The poem "I Too" by Langston Hughes:
- there are 5 stanzas
-I don't really feel as though there is any rhyme scheme but I do feel the flow of the everything is pretty fluent
- figurative language
- the meaning of this poem to me is that the poet grew up with not so nice peers and seemed as he/her peers were embarrassed of he/she and would rather have them hide in the other room to eat then eating with them. but the poet makes it seem like he/she will be coming over he/shes fear and going to eat with them at the main table

The poem "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes 

- there are 20 lines 
- no rhyme scheme, and no stanzas 
- the major theme would be working out and having self convince 
- the poem is about the thoughts of a mother who is going through a rough patch. she knows to fight everything she's going through and to be strong. she looks passed her miserable life and encourages her son to look up to her and to push pass all the bad and live his life happy.

The poem "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams 
- this tone of this poem is very dry, it  was kinda boring and not a lot was talked about besides a red wheelbarrow and chickens needing that wheelbarrow. but it talked about rain which is just sad in general so the poem is self was sad and boring.
