Reflect on this poem written by Langston Hughes. How do you associate it to the story, “A
Raisin in the Sun”?

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?
