“Harlem: A Dream Deferred”
by Langston Hughes
What happened to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun
Or a fester like a sore-
And then run?
Does it sink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over-
Like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just says
Like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
What is this poem trying to tell you about life?

What is the meaning for a real looloo

In  the earth is precious, chief seattle says that man did not “weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.” what attitude is he implicitly criticizing by saying this?

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
