 Today in class we started with a bell ringer about the American Dream. We then discussed whether or not the American dream was attainable by everyone. Afterwards we continued with analyzing poems by Langston Hughes. We started with "Dream Deferred" and concluded it to be about not giving up on your dreams and to go after them. Afterwards we independently worked on the second poem "I, Too". The first poem we did together is shown below.
