Theatre 4: A Dream Deferred

HARLEM
(A Dream Deferred)
--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: “A Dream Deferred”
1) Explain what is meant by “A Dream Deferred”
2) Give an example of this from the story “A Raisin in the Sun.”
3) Give an example from your life.
4) Now that you have shared, what do you want your audience to do
when it comes to their own dreams?
