Tomorrow I'll be at the table
When company comes
(from "l, Too" by Langston Hughes)
Often in thought go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear old town,
And my youth comes back to me.
(from "My Lost Youth" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
Not everlastingly while others sleep
Shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute,
Not always bend to some more subtle brute;
We were not made eternally to weep.
(from "From the Dark Tower" by Countee Cullen)
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
Butl laugh
And eat well
And grow strong
(from "1. Too" by Langston Hughes)

Read the excerpt from frederick douglass’s speech “what to the slave is the fourth of july? ” go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the old world, travel through south america, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, america reigns without a rival. which phrase best describes the connotation of the word “reigns”? a sense of opportunity and growth a sense of fear and anxiety a sense of compassion and humanity a sense of oppression and domination
