question 6 1 pts
what is the significance of the line \tomorrow, i’ll be at the table\ in \i, too\?
○ it refers to the speaker’s plan to leave home
○ it is a literal invitation to dinner
○ it symbolizes racial integration and equality in the future
○ it represents the speaker’s desire for solitude

Explanation:

For the first question:

• The line "Tomorrow/Nobody'll dare / Say to me, / 'Eat in the kitchen/Then'" directly references a future where the unfair treatment ends, showing the speaker is certain change will come. The other lines either describe current mistreatment, personal growth, or a future realization of their worth, but not the inevitability of the change in their treatment.

For the second question:

• In Langston Hughes' I, Too, the "table" symbolizes a space of acceptance, equality, and belonging. The line "Tomorrow, I'll be at the table" uses this symbol to represent the speaker's belief in a future where racial integration and equal standing (for Black people in America) are a reality. The other options misinterpret the symbolic meaning of the line.

Answer:

1. "Tomorrow/Nobody'll dare / Say to me, / 'Eat in the kitchen/Then'"
2. It symbolizes racial integration and equality in the future
