May 12- Finish play and Dream Deferred

We finished the play and then worked on the following worksheet:

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?

            -Langston Hughes

1.  Choose four of Langston Hughes’ similes and draw them on the back of this sheet.

For each of the following characters, write what their dream is, which simile would most likely be true if their dream was deferred and why you think this.
