A RAISIN IN THE SUN Lorraine Hansbery

A raisin in the sun; play by Lorraine  Hansberry inspiration

BY LANGSTON HUGHES

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?

This was one of my first reads in undergrad for an English module called me a to analyse a reflect on self and society.

•    What did you do when your dreams were deterred and you had to make a second plan and more?
•    Who do you rely on to make your dream stay alive and not dry up?
•    Are you true to your course?
•    Is your course not infringing on another's?
