  14. Figuring out Figurative Language! Dreams 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. ~By Langston Hughes • Notice the short, packed lines, and strong, simple nouns and verbs. • Repetition of the first line emphasizes the importance of its meaning. • How easy this poem would be to memorize.

  15. Figuring out Figurative Language! Harlem (2) 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? ~By Langston Hughes • Notice the tone and intensity of the metaphors: negative in the extreme, each conveying a different kind of destruction. • Strong sensory verbs. • How the questions build momentum and power. • How the italics of the last line convey fury.

  16. To an Old Black Woman, Homeless and Indistinct By Gwendolyn Brooks Read this poem and try to determine the point of view. Who is the narrator? The old woman, the rich woman, or someone else? Underline your proof. Also, why are some words capitalized and italicized that are not normally?
