Agenda
August 26, 2010
• Objective:
We will be able to…
 ANALYZE “Harlem: A Dream Deferred,” DEVELOP a thesis for
its meaning, and JUSTIFY the thesis with supporting details
from the text
• Opening: Bell Work
 Five Senses graphic organizer
• Imagery, Metaphor, Simile, and Personification
• “Harlem: A Dream Deferred” (Langston Hughes)
• Closing: Exit Pass
 Personal Narrative graphic organizer
Imagery
is the use of words to create
pictures in the readers’ minds
•
Literary devices that help to evoke imagery:
 Metaphor is a comparison of things, where one thing
“is” another
 Example: Life is a rollercoaster ride.
 Simile is a comparison of things, where one thing is
“like” another
 Example: His hands felt cold like ice.
 Personification is when inanimate objects are given
human-like qualities
 Example: The wind whispered softly.
Langston Hughes

Rotten Meat
Harlem: A Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
Vocabulary
Defer: (v.) to delay
Fester: (v.) to rot
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?
- Langston Hughes, 1951
