"Harlem" - Langston Hughes

(Look up the words in green if you do not know the definition)

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?



After reading "Harlem" what connections can you make to yourself and this poem? (Respond with 3-5 complete sentences)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The connection I can make between the poem "Harlem" and myself is on the need not to defer any of my dreams.

For example, if my dream was to become a Nurse but due to finances, was unable to enter into college, I should still keep the dream alive rather than forgeting it entirely.

Forsaking a dream would create the doubt of "What would ahve happened if I didn't or Had I known...."

Whose sea is that? I think I know.

Its owner is quite happy though.

Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,

I watch her laugh. I cry hello.

She gives her sea a shake,

And laughs until her belly aches.

The only other sound apart from

The violent crashing waves.

The sea is cold, blue and deep,

But she has promises to keep,

After cake and lots of sleep.

Sweet dreams come to her cheap.

She rises from her gentle bed,

With thoughts of kittens in her head,

She eats her jam with lots of bread.

Ready for the day ahead.

Sentence 4

If her father had come home early, they had time to play golf.

The incorrect part of this sentence is the verb had. By saying "they had time for golf", contradicts the beginning of the sentence, "If her father had come home early." Instead of saying had you would say, "would have had" or "would've had".

How does the metaphor in this excerpt affect
the meaning of the passage?

Answers

Answer:

How does the metaphor in this excerpt affect the tone of the passage? As the daylight began to fade, the gentle breeze that surrounded Regina was a soft embrace, comforting and kind, the same type of loving hug that her grandmother had given her during her visit. That zephyr's soft squeeze—that tiny cuddle—reminded Regina that her and her grandmother's closeness in thought and heart was unaffected by the miles between them. Regina found her feet and headed to the house. When she entered, her mother was opening windows and letting in fresh air. It creates a wistful tone because Regina recalls the fun she had over the summer at her grandmother's house. It creates a somber tone because of the distance that separates Regina from her life at her grandmother's house. It creates a heartwarming tone because Regina is reminded of the closeness she and her grandmother share. It creates a resigned tone because Regina knows it will be some time before she is with her grandmother again.

Read the excerpt from President Franklin Roosevelt's “Day of Infamy” speech delivered after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Which sentence best summarizes the passage?

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area.

A.
Japan’s strategy was to destroy American defense equipment by launching a surprise attack.
B.
Japan’s deception and successive surprise attacks revealed its aggressive stance in World War II.
C.
American military and naval defense equipment were badly damaged in the attack on Hawaii.
D.
All the surprise attacks by Japan in the Pacific had been carefully planned over a period of time.

Answers

Answer:

B). Japan’s deception and successive surprise attacks revealed its aggressive stance in World War II.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from President Roosevelt's 'Day of Infamy' speech better known as Pearl Harbor Address that was delivered on 7th of December 1941, the key idea that is discussed would be 'Japan's deception(reflected by the phrase 'attack was deliberately planned') and successive surprise attacks(exposed Japanese onslaught and wicked character while attacking Philippine, Wake, Midway, Hong Kong, Malaya, etc.) on United States' naval and military forces disclosed its hostile attitude in Second World War.' This led the United States to enter the war officially when president declared that 'all measures be taken for our defense.' Thus, option B is the correct answer.
