Read the following Langston Hughes 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?

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?

What images does Hughes use in the poem? What does he think happens to dreams when you have them and then they don’t come true? What do you think happens to people who have dreams that don’t come true?
