Warm Up, Blog Post #7

Warm Up,
Dreams
By Langston Hughes

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.


Based on what you know about the Younger family, write a well written two paragraph post  that explains how this poem “Dreams” by Langston Hughes relates to each of the characters in A Raisin in the Sun.  State examples from your reading.  Who would you consider the broken-winged bird?  Who has had a dream "go" ?  How have they held fast to their dreams as a family and as individuals?
