langston hughes was one of the greatest black poets of all time. he was a t his peak during the harlem renaissance, which was a time of african american revival. the poem a dream deffered tells what happens to something not pursued or ignored. hughes makes the reader understand how precious and important dreams can be. if not taken of and if not pursued, well:
A dream deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Get a Voki now!
