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?

Respuesta :

The two similes in the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes are "fester like a sore" and "stink like rotten meat."

What is the simile in the poem mean?

Maybe the dream will "fester like a sore-/ And then run" if it doesn't dry up. You want a sore to dry up so it can heal, but if it festers and runs, it's infected and will take longer to recover.

A Simile is a figure of speech that is used to compare something to something else in order to clarify the meanings for the audience.

Examples:

"Does it dry out like a raisin in the sun?"

"Does it smell like rotten meat?"

"like a syrupy sweet?"
