 Prompt: In “I, Too,” the speaker expresses pride in his identity and his rightful place in America. Reflect on your own life: What aspect of your cultural identity are you most proud of, and why?

Reflection: I am proud to have southern hospitality. I grew up in the south and from this learned southern hospitality. It's something I'm proud to have because it's welcoming to other people and it teaches you to have good manners in social interactions.

Reflection: I wondered where and how far out my family goes historically.
