Dreams by Langston Hughes
x
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
x
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
x
The poem contains structurally simple metaphors which follow the formula a is b. These can be found in both stanzas. The first contains this line:
Life is a broken-winged bird
While the second stanza contains the following line:
Life is a barren field
x
1. What is this metaphor referring to in this poem?
2. How do these metaphors work in relation to the poem's title, "Dreams?"
3. How is this description different from saying simply that when dreams are unfulfilled life is difficult?
4. How is it different from saying that a life without dreams is like a broken-winged bird? Would using a simile rather than a metaphor negate or weaken Hughes' poem?
5. What makes this an effective metaphor and why?
