How does the tone reflect attitudes of the time? Highlight words that reflect a tone of frustration.
The sink is broke,
The water don't run,
And you ain't done a thing
You promised to've done.
O People were frustrated about paying rent.
O People were frustrated about living in homes.
O People were frustrated about being treated unfairly
O People were frustrated by the amount of work they
were expected to do.
Back window's cracked,
Kitchen floor squeaks,
There's rats in the cellar,
And the attic leaks.
- "Madam and the Rent Man,
Langston Hughes
