Read the poems. Explain the message in each. What do they have in common? How are they different? Write your own version of one of these poems, attempting to answer the question: Who are you?
But someday
But someday, somebody'll
stand up and talk about me
and write about me
black and beautiful
and sing about me
and put on plays about me!
I reckon it'll be
me myself!
Yes, it'll be me.
-Langston Hughes
I'm Nobody
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
-Emily Dickinson
