The speaker's tone in Langston Hughes' "Theme for English B" by Sirkku, Ananica and Afeisha

The speaker's tone in Langston Hughes' "Theme for English B" is positive. He is pointing out that regardless of one's skin color, race or age, we are all equal whether we like it or not. [You need a signal phrase here]

          You are white-

          yet a part of me, as I am a part of you.

          That's American.

          Sometimes perhaps you don't want to be a part of me.

          Nor do I often want to be part of you.

          But we are, that's true!

          I guess you learn from me-

          although you're older-and white-

          and some what more free. (31-39)

As illustrated in[the above passage] the speaker's voice reflects the hope for better life for everyone.[Here you need to analyze examples from the above quoted passage.] The "Dream" that Martin Luther King talked about shines through his voice. [Here you once again need to provide an example from the above quoted passage to illustrate that what the speaker says echoes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.] It is very relevant to today's society. We have, after all, a black president.
