The Poem


Martin Luther King JR.


Quote





I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.



This means to people that every should be treated equally. It does not matter if you are white, black, or brown. It matters how you respond to things, it does not matter how people look. All people in the world should not be treated by the color of their skin but by their contents.






For me this means that every person should be treated equally it does not matter if the person is white, brown, or black. It does not matter if the person is a woman or a man. In this world everybody has the same right to be free from by being discriminated! People should be seeing for the way they act. I know that Martin Luther King JR. made a good point and this quote belongs to everybody. People should think about this phrase and think it for a good period of time as I did!
















Langston Hughes


Harlem (A Dream Deferred)




Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load.

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?

Or does it explode?




















The Poem (A Dream Deferred)





Does it burn up


like wood in the fired?


Or is it rip like food--


And then smelly?


Does it rusty like metal?


Or colorful and bright


like a painting?



Maybe it melts


like a ice cube.


Or does it get electrocuted?







This is about a dream. It says that it banish from your reaches. Do you quit when you can't reach it. "Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" For me this poem is mostly like you have less chance to achieve your dream. If you play your cards right there most be a chance to a achieve your dream. Lets say that the door closes at you but a window opens! So is better never to quit when you are trying to achieve your dream.
