My thoughts on "I, Too".

I felt that this was a fairly powerful poem as well. While I can't really sympathize with Hughes's position, it was very easy to see the perspective that he was coming from. It's a tale of "revenge" that manages to not be bitter or acerbic at all: it's hopeful, even! The third and fourth stanzas really tie it all together by paralleling the second: the speaker is going to make a peaceful act of defiance by sitting at the table in the dining room. He will be "beautiful" in his act of retaliation, independent like the concept of America itself. It's dramatic and stirring.
