8. Read the beginning of the poem "A Dream Deferred," by Langston Hughes.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a ralsin in the sun?
What is the author saying about dreams that are deferred (postponed)?
They might grow and become larger.
They might change for the better.
They might become dry and lifeless.
They might blossom like fruit.
