Paragraph for Tone

     In the poem, "I Too Sing America, " by Langston Hughes the tones are discontent and acceptance. Discontent was made obvious in the first stanza which said," I am the darker brother." The tone does take a major shift in the last stanza when Hughes states," Besides, they will see how beautiful I am and be ashamed." This changes the author's tone to a tone of acceptance.
