It keeps on going and says the expression of what you are feeling when your dream is running away from you. It makes me think of people that have to take care of their family and had to forget their goals and dreams. ]]> 2023-05-31 16:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610742537 Daniel Pablo https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610743681 The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes reminds me of a memory of me back in the earlier grades of elementary when I had larger goals than now because I didn't have an idea of how much effort it would take, so I gradually gave up on them.]]> 2023-05-31 16:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610743681 Marcel https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610744300 The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes reminds me of my mom. Her dream is to travel but she is tied down by responsibility. Her children, her bills, her job. All of it ties her down and her dreams of traveling the world had to be put to the side. She still has passion for those things but it feels like her passion has rusted, she seems to have settled into having a normal life without going to a new country every month.]]> 2023-05-31 16:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610744300 Qasim https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610746306 This poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes gives me an idea of a my past self back when I was a kid in middle school seeing myself wanting to accomplish and becoming an Entrepreneur and traveling all around now realizing to put my dreams aside and find other ways to accomplish my dreams and goals by changing my mind to who I want to be or define as.]]> 2023-05-31 16:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610746306 Riley Yip https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610747862 The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes, makes me think of my parents, and if they had any big dreams before they had kids. I know my dad wanted to be a doctor when he was younger and I always wondered why he never became one, was it because of my brother and me, or something else? When it says "does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun?" makes me think about if my parents still wished they could have done something else with their life before kids, or if they forgot about their dreams.]]> 2023-05-31 16:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610747862 Samuel Discenza https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610749110 When I heard the poem “Harlem” by Langston Hughes it makes me think about people who have abandoned their dreams. Sometimes people have to abandon their dreams because the can no longer give their time and attention. This poem highlights the feeling of no longer being able to accomplish your dream. ]]> 2023-05-31 16:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610749110 Abdifatah https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610846168 The poem is stupid and I did not enjoy it. Why does the author rhyme some words but then go ahead and write whatever? 

The author is a pseudo poet who writes nonsense with question marks at the end to make everything seem "wise" and "witty"]]> 2023-05-31 18:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2610846168 Vanessa Caraang https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2611269311 The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes reminds me of myself when I was younger and I had larger dreams of what I wanted to do when I grew up and wanted to pursue into something I used be really passionate as a kid. However I realized as I grew up how much effort I would need to do to pursue in that career and over time i began to loose interest in that topic and would much rather do it as a hobby than do it as a career.]]> 2023-06-01 03:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2611269311 Lachlan Femling https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2614972225 "Harlem" is really motivating because I have big dreams of being a great person.]]> 2023-06-05 16:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2614972225 Alia https://padlet.com/gentletmcg/wx8j1xg0rk68hcy4/wish/2616115837 The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes  reminds me of my Mom because her dream is to get a mansion and wants to be a singer and get her self a pet,  just like  having a wealthy life. but she has struggled  on trying to accomplish that and putting her dream aside with having trouble with bills just life in general. and having to get her life together like in the quote "Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun"? because i always think what my mom could do differently and make a change. of having her dreams comes true instead of just putting those wishes away.
