ReplyDelete“A Dream Deferred” was a poem written by Langston Hughes. The main idea of the poem was to not put off or pospone your dreams, because then your dreams will never come true if you never take a chance and chase after your dreams. This message was given by the examples of what would happen to a dream deferred if you don’t put action into it in the poem. “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore- - - and then run?” This quote shows if you put off a dream or wait forever to make it happen then after a while it can just be forgotten and never thought about again. “A Dream Deferred” written by Langston Hughes showed clearly how you should’nt pospone your dreams because he says that it will just be a forgotten dream and you will regret that you never tried to put action into that dream.

Langston Hughes is the author of "a Dream Deferred". The central idea of a dream deferred is that you have to chase after your dreams and not postpone them. Hughes goes on in the poem to ask what happens to a dream that is not chased; postponed. He says that it might crust like a candy, sag, or explode. the message is clear-DO NOT postpone your dreams. "What happens to a dream deferred; Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?; Or fester like a sore - - and than run? Does it stink like rotten meat?; Or crust and sugar over like a syrupy sweet?" (Langston Hughes, 1) I believe that this conveys the message the most because it uses imagery to explain you don't want to let it sit.

ReplyDeleteIn the poem " A dream Deferred" Langston Hughes said that you should not put off or post pone a dream. The central idea of the poem is that you should put off or post pone a dream. He conveys this by saying what might happen is you put off your dreams." Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun; Or fester like a sore and run". I believe that this coveys the central idea because it says what would happen if you don't follow your dreams and he uses a lot of imagery to convey this message even better.

ReplyDeleteLangston Hughes wrote the poem “A Dream Deferred”. The central idea of the poem was to not give up on your dreams because once you do you will never achieve it. A dream does not just come to you, you have to go after your dream and not give up no matter how hard it gets. “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun.” This shows you that if you give up on a dream it will shrivel up and dry up till it is nothing. Langston Hughes “A Dream Deferred” was about how you should not give up on a dream no matter how hard it gets.

The “I have a dream” by Langston Hughes, said, “Follow your dreams before it’s too late”
ReplyDeleteit means you Should not put away your dream but you got to make your dream happen before it’s too late.
“What happens to a dream deferred does it dry up like a raisin in the sun”
I think it’s so effective because, it dries up like a raisin sounds like it vanishes. You have to make it happen before it’s too later, before it dries up.
The, ”A dream deferred” by Langston Hughes, it makes it clear because deferred means when it’s too late.
