SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE POEMS

Content: This is used as a metaphor to represent the white people being oblivious to the African-Americas and showing racism towards them. The poet keeps referring to ‘her drums’ as a sign that she is ‘beating out the message’ of equality for everyone. This shows that she is against racism and wants everyone to be treated the same and that she will continue to spread the message until it is resolved. When Angelou says ‘But if I’m just a shadow to you, could you ever understand?’ she is referring to the African-Americans as shadows to the white people. This conveys the message of racism and that Negros are treated of lesser value compared to white people and that they shadow on everyone because they are inferior. The effective use of metaphors and repetition in this poem creates a sense of drive for equality making a stronger message for equal rights between everyone. 'ALL ONE RACE' - POEM ANALYSIS
