A Dream Deffered (Late)


Out of all the poems we read in this unit, my favorite on would have to be A Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes. It’s a simple poem but still has a powerful meaning. It makes think about what happens when a dream is not reached and we’re not just talking about the dreams you have while sleeping, but also dreams that are described as goals. Everyone has some kind of goal that they want to accomplish in life. Sometimes it doesn’t go the way they want it.


So if a dream is not achieved does not go your way, what happens to it? The poem continuously asks it will eat you inside or if it will just rot in your head. You might hold it in for so long that you’ll eventually burst out something at the wrong time. It’s not good to hold anything in, especially goals that you wanted to accomplish but never had the ability to. I have goals that I plan to achieve. Some of them did not go my way but I’m not going to let them affect the rest of my life. If one goal goes wrong, the think of another one and you might be able to achieve. Anything is possible
