  2. Dream Deferred Langston Hughes QW #2 Help ·Have you ever had to give up or postpone a dream? ·How does this poem relate to Marian Anderson's life? ·Use imagery or similes/metaphors to describe what happens to an unfullfilled dream. 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?

  3. Reviewing "Marian Anderson" 1. In this biography, the narrator describes the reality of racial segregation practices during the 1930's & 1940's. How did Marian Anderson's career help expose the truth about racism during this time? Use at least 2 details from the text to support your answer. 2. Describe two ways Hughes' biography of Marian Anderson differs from Maya Angelou's autobiography regarding their WRITING STYLE. 3. What organizational structure does Hughes' use? Marian Anderson's career exposed the truth that people could exist together, regardless of color. For example, in 1939 the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to let her sing. Many people of all colors protested and she got to sing at the Lincoln Memorial instead. One of the largest crowds in history came to hear her & included all races. Secondly, even though she was denied accommodations at many hotels because of segregation, she was popular enough to sing over 100 concerts a year all over the world. This shows that people didn't care what color she was, they just wanted to hear her sing. First, Hughes's biography of Marian Anderson uses historical events while Angelou's is full of descriptive personal memories. Another difference is that Angelou's using a lot of figurative language & Hughes's is very factual and direct. chronological
