Read the prompt, then type your answer in the box. Read the poem "Harlem [2]" by Langston Hughes.

What happens to a dream deferred?
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?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Discuss the meaning of two instances of figurative language. Then, choose three words and explain how the connotations of those words create meaning in the poem.
