"Harlem" - Langston Hughes

(Look up the words in green if you do not know the definition)

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?

After reading "Harlem" what connections can you make to yourself and this poem? (Respond with 3-5 complete sentences)?

The connection I can make between the poem "Harlem" and myself is on the need not to defer any of my dreams.

For example, if my dream was to become a Nurse but due to finances, was unable to enter into college, I should still keep the dream alive rather than forgeting it entirely.

Forsaking a dream would create the doubt of "What would ahve happened if I didn't or Had I known"
