She proclaimed her dream of being a professional singer. The judges rolled their eyes and the audience pulled incredulous faces: she was too ugly to become a singer. Nobody would believe a fat middle-aged woman like her can do anything other than singing in the bathroom. To be honest‚ I agreed with them.

10/2/13 L1 The poems “I Hear America Singing” by Walt Whitman‚ “I‚ Too Sing America” by Langston Hughes‚ and “On the Pulse of the Morning” by Maya Angelou are very similar but also very different in many ways. All three of the poems talk about equality‚ diversity‚ pride‚ and hope for the future. Whitman talks about various working people “singing”.
