Answer:

"As I Grow Older" is Langston Hughes' (1902-1967) poem with a message to African Americans for self-realization.

The speaker changes from a passive to active role through lines 20-22

This change is not from an active to passive role (as mistakenly called in question) but it is from passive to active.

Conclusion:

He will be able to meet his dream.  The conclusion of the poem with <em>thousand lights of sun</em><em> </em>is the same as his dream was bright like a sun.

Explanation:

17 "Above me.

18 Only the thick wall.

19 Only the shadow.

20 My hands!

21 My dark hands!

22 Break through the wall!

"

The change from passive to active role starts from line 20 and is in full effect in line 22 (Break through the wall!

).

When the wall will be destroyed, it shadow will disappear and he will be able to meet his dream on the other side of the wall; and this dream will not be just a dream; it will be realization of poet’s (who represents all African-Americans) many dreams (Into a thousand whirling dreams)

.

In the start of the poem, the poet says that although he had almost forgotten that dream but he is now able to remember that dream which was

<em>"Bright like a sun—  </em>

My dream"

After the wall is destroyed poet's dream is as bight as <em>thousand lights of sun</em>.

H ridiculously claimed out country to be FULL but we are not, He used anti-Semitic troops to attack his enemies but he was right to do that, He said the Soviet Union was right to invade Afghanistan and congratulated China on the 70th anniversary of the Communist takeover it was not right to do that, He lost a needless government shutdown fight instead of just taking the deal like he should of, He used his emergency authority to circumvent Congress on the border wall after he lost the shutdown fight, He continued to spread the canard that the USA is fighting an endless war,He continued to attack dead people, He asked the president of Ukraine to investigate Hunter Biden NOT RIGHT, He invited the Taliban to camp David, He gave Turkey a green light to invade Syria and attack out Kurdish allies. But the good things he did was... He continued to deliver for the forgotten Americans, He implemented tighter work requirements for food stamps, He has got NATO allies to cough up more money for our collective security, He stood with the people of Hong Kong, His withdrawal from the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces INF treaty is delivering china and north Korea a strategic setback, His maximum pressure campaign is crippling Iran, His tariff threats forced mexico to crack down on illegal immigration, He delivered the biggest blow to planned parenthood in three decades, He ordered the operation that killed Islamic state leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and He has continued to appoint conservative judges at a record pace.
