My first impression on the poem “I, Too” by Langston Hughes was that this was going to be a story about this this black women or man and how they suffered. It came off as someone was going to be more a slave then someone who stood up for them selfs.  And i thought it was going to be sad and heartbreaking the whole time and disturbing in a way. The more i read the poem over and over the more i realized how strong this person was and how much self convince this person had in them selfs. The person came off with a very strong attitude and was very straight foward. He or she wanted to be able to show that they were worth more then what the people were looking at and, and they shouldn’t be douting someone for there skin tone. What I liked about the poem was how he or she was able to have so much convinced to be able to make them selfs happy by doing something that was kinda a bold move. They wanted to show the person they were living with that they had more to show and more to bring to the table then what they were looking.  The reason why i thought this was such a moving part was because its kinding giving a massage to people who have low self esteem that you can do anything as long as it makes you happy and to not be afraid to push for something. 

4 things i want to ask the poet would be.

1. How did you think of starting something off in a sad way and turning it around to make it happy?
2. How did you give so a good massage in such a short amount of time?
3. How long did it take you to come up with this poem? 
4. What was you feeling when you realized how popular your poem came?
