Complete question:

The poems "I Hear America Singing" and "I, Too" speak of the American identity, but they differ in many ways. Which analysis correctly presents the contrast between the two poems?

1. In Whitman's poem, the poet sings to proclaim an American identity in which each person plays an equal part. In contrast, in Hughes's poem, the speaker's voice is stifled when he is sent to the kitchen, demonstrating that everyone has an equal opportunity to be part of the American identity.

2. In Whitman's poem, the workers use their voices to proclaim an American identity in which each person plays an equal part. In contrast, in Hughes's poem, the speaker's voice is stifled when he is sent to the kitchen, demonstrating that not everyone has an equal opportunity to be part of the American identity.

3. In Whitman's poem, the workers use their voices to proclaim an American identity in which each person plays an equal part. In contrast, in Hughes's poem, the speaker rejects sharing a meal with others at the table, demonstrating that everyone has an equal opportunity to be part of the American identity if they so choose.

4. In Whitman's poem, the poet sings to proclaim an American identity in which each person plays an equal part. In contrast, in Hughes's poem, only the people in the kitchen play an important role.

option 2 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

in I hear America singing by walt whitman, each of the characters (workers) in the poem are doing the same thing, they are all singing. no one is doing differently, everyone is in the same mood. This poem shows everyone playing an equal part.

In I too by Langston Hughes, the character is being discriminated against. He is the darker brother who is sent to the kitchen whenever a visitor comes around. This action goes to show that not everyone has the same opportunity in the american identity.

thank you!
