They had the same rhythm in a way. They both had different messages and audience like his message is to not put off your dreams and hers is more about racism. Her poem is about her rising even if the odds are against her but his is more about what if you don't rise.]]> 2022-05-10 19:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178203309 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178204080 the poem reminds me of a speech, but in a way it has me thinking of how we all make dreams and wishes as a kids and are yet to see if our dreams come true]]> 2022-05-10 19:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178204080 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178206082 the poem makes me think about the little dreams you have as a kid that come back to your memory as an adult and it's your choice to make those dreams come true or to leave them to become a raisin in the sun]]> 2022-05-10 19:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178206082 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178207024 I can’t think of any connections but I like the different ways the author described a deferred dream. It shows how you can elaborate something in order to make it impact the reader in more ways.]]> 2022-05-10 19:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178207024 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178207116 I think the metaphors throughout the text like "Or fester like a sore" are metaphors to what happens if a dream is deferred. And throughout the entire poem it uses those metaphors in the text to describe what happens when a dream is deferred]]> 2022-05-10 19:31:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178207116 1nphofkes https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178208842 the poem reminds me of perseverance, per se? like you have multiple challenges and multiple different outcomes for a dream of yours. it compares it to other similes & the effects of something..]]> 2022-05-10 19:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178208842 nelliefigueroa9 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178208968 I think the poem is something a lot of people can relate to, like my mom had to give up going to college because she had me and was pregnant with me]]> 2022-05-10 19:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178208968 samanthascaia06 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178210296 This poem reminds me of another poem, A Dream within a Dream written by Edgar Allen Poe where he states, 
"O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?" 
Both poems remind me of describing dreams as fragile and fleeting. ]]> 2022-05-10 19:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178210296 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178210878 I really like the line “Or crust and sugar over like syrupy sweet?” It describes how pushing away a dream isn’t always negative. It reminds me of in the book The Alchemist the main character talks to a small shop owner and the owner tells him how he dreams of going to Egypt but will never go, to keep his dream alive. This is because reality can be underwhelming and sometimes it’s better to be infatuated with the idea of something then ever actually experiencing it. ]]> 2022-05-10 19:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178210878 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178212246 the poem feels very opened-ended to me, like he had an idea about what to write and left it unfinished or deferred like the poem states, allowing the reader to interpreted it how they want to.]]> 2022-05-10 19:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178212246 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178212270 I like how he emphasizes on explode as if he was making the word actually explode. when he asks about deferred dreams it makes me think about how dreams are easily given up on or neglected. ]]> 2022-05-10 19:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178212270 joshuadavis2758 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178212382 This poem makes me think of the youthful dreams you had as a kid, how they either propagate and expand, or wither and die. It also makes me think of how often you can switch what you love when your young.]]> 2022-05-10 19:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178212382 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178213551 The poem makes me think that the play will be about people that cast away there dreams for reasons that seem to be out of their control. I also think the play is about the lives of the people who casted away there dreams and how they act while not pursuing there dreams. ]]> 2022-05-10 19:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178213551 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178214000 The line “Or fester like a sore— And then run?”
Makes me imagine a situation where someone is getting bullied and to avoid it they begin leaving the things that they love… for example lets say you are getting bullied for knitting people say “Why do you knit its so boring. Thats such a point less hobby. Are you a old lady? Do something more productive like studying.” That person developed a self hatred for it and it became a sore to them. Instead of continuing to love what they love despite what people think they quit and run away. This is just one example of a “sore” causing people to run away.]]> 2022-05-10 19:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178214000 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178214491 this poem reminds me of despair which is a theme i see a lot in this show i watched called hunter x hunter]]> 2022-05-10 19:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178214491 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178223539 The poem reminds me of the difficult times when my mom use to take me to her college classes because at the time she had no one else to look after me an my brother. an she got in a car crash which made it more difficult to take care of me an my brother but she still didn't give up ]]> 2022-05-10 19:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178223539 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178224291 I think the poem could talk about how even when things seem like they are terrible, with the drying like a raisin in the sun line. But then going to the sugary coat and syrupy line talking about how there could be sweet spots, going back to the raisin. I think everything comes together with a raisin in the sun because it shows that even though something could be seen as dried up or upsetting, there could be sweetness inside, like a dried raisin being sweet.]]> 2022-05-10 19:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178224291 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178225937 i think this poem reminds of a dream when your in the moment or the dream but when you wake up it was nothing to speical]]> 2022-05-10 19:46:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178225937 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178228000 The poem reminds me of person who couldn't do something and had to gave up on their dream but still think about it. Also the way Langston Hughes read the poem makes me think that the poem is about someone giving up on their dream and the struggles they went through.]]> 2022-05-10 19:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178228000 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178228530 I liked how he used the raisin drying in the sun to compare the life of a dream being pushed away. He used it to show a dream being put on hold. In the last lines he shows a alternative for the dream, the dream could burst with energy and succeed ]]> 2022-05-10 19:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178228530 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178230642 I like it when it says will it explode becuase not everything goes as planed]]> 2022-05-10 19:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178230642 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178231711 This poem evokes the meaning of what a forgotten dream can be. Specifically can it manifest into something good or bad. Whether its best for you or should you chase after it]]> 2022-05-10 19:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178231711 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178355895 In the poem the title "Harlem" really makes me think about the dreams, aspirations, hopes of the people in the community of Harlem.  The line "what happens to a dream deferred" this line really makes me think about how peoples dreams and asperations have consequences when those dreams don't come true. The poem also reminds me of Lorraine Hansberry's play "A Raisin in the Sun" which got its name from the "Harlem" poem. "A Raisin in the Sun" and "Harlem" both talk about the American dreams that are promised.  ]]> 2022-05-10 21:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2178355895 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2194144704 This poem makes me think that we never really know what could happen with the things we dream. It could be just that, a dream. It could be something that we work hard towards and are able to achieve, or it goes completely wrong. It could also just be something at the moment but then move onto the next. It overall reminds me that there's so many possibilities of what could happen in our life.]]> 2022-05-21 20:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2194144704 https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/ljpay29m0b8cdziq/wish/2196403434 This poem makes me think that we never really know what could happen with the things we dream.
