Langston+Hughes+High+Purpose

I think that Langston Hughes wrote this poem for a number of reasons. My first reason is that maybe Langston Hughes has had a dream deferred before in his life. I think that to write a poem that is really deep, the poet must have gone through something like it before. So maybe Langston Hughes has lost something that means a lot to him and then he wrote the poem. Langston Hughes starts out saying "what happens to a dream deferred?" Then throughout the poem Langston Hughes explains the effects that come along when a dream is deferred, so I think that he must have taken he thoughts about what happens to someone when a dream is deferred. I also remember reading and watching "A Raisin in the Sun", and then my english teacher associated this poem into the book. I think the poem fit well because the book was about a struggling family trying to survive the basic things. They were also had a dream they were trying to achieve, so this poem kind of fits into the book. It isn't a exact fit but I think fitting "A Raisin in the Sun" is a twisted fit into "A Dream Deferred." I think with the effects that Langston Hughes writes about in "A Dream Deferred" are happening to the family in "A Raisin in the Sun" before they reach their dream. So I found that interesting, trying to fit together "A Raisin in the Sun" and "A Dream Deferred."
