I think this line is my favorite line in the whole poem. "For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly". I think those lines are my favorite lines in all poetry that I have read and that is something that a lot of readers can relate to. First I will start off by interpreting it. The whole poem, "Dreams" by Langston Hughes is based on obviously dreams, but how quickly dreams can leave the dreamer and deflated dreams. This poem kind of connects to another one of his poems, "A Dream Deferred", which I also choose for one of my poems. But anyway, the first line, in the part of the poem i chose, "For if dreams die". So I interpreted that, aI tis a reader, for when something you want really badly, a dream, dies, something disappears. "Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly". I think those two lines are so powerful in their meanings and they fit perfectly together. I think the idea of a broken-winged bird is big enough. It means that a bird's purpose is to fly and its a big stage in the bird's life when it first learns how to fly, so when a bird has a broken wing it can't fly. It's just like when a dreamer loses a dream, it can't dream anymore. I also noticed that when a bird has a broken wing, sometimes it doesn't die, so it has to live its life for a while without flying. And when a person loses a dream it has to keeping on living without that dream.
