Answer: Hi there! I read "Harlem" last week in my English class and would love to help you out! Please see the "Explanation" section for a (hopefully) elaborate answer.
Explanation: I wrote a simple version of this poem in bullets.
- If a dream would shrivel like a raisin in the sun, it would change into something so different that it wasn’t before.
- If a dream were to fester a sore, it would irritate and hurt someone badly. This could cause them to do something bad then run away.
- If a dream were to fail and crust over like sugar, that means that the diminished dream doesn't hurt you much.
- If someone would let their dream rot like meat, they’d have to lose all faith and hope, letting their dream go to waste like it was nothing.
- If a dream was to sag like a heavy load, it would slow the person down into thinking more about the dream, instead of working on trying to make the dream come true.
- When a dream doesn’t come true, one can become too stressed and mentally and emotionally explode, leading to an act of self-harm or something one would regret.
What do you think this post (poet??) is saying?
I believe that Langston Hughes' poem best describes the many results of dreams (or ambitions) and how they can affect one's state of mind. Some effects of dreams can be benign while others reveal themselves to be detrimental.
This explanation is just my interpretation, and you are free to disagree with or change anything mentioned. Good luck with your assignment! :)

Explanation:
Quite similarly, ever since I was a young kid I used to dream about going to London, it was my life goal you could say.
It seemed quite impossible as I come from a working class family however I decided to work during college in order to save every pennie and book a flight to the UK.
I was finally able to do it, I was one flight away from seeing London for the first time ever, I could not have been more excited.
Once I got there, for the first time in my life I knew how dissapointment felt like. It was nothing like I imagined, it was exactly how no one ever described it to me: crowded, dirty and ordinary.
I learned to love its streets and its people but frankly I'd only return if it was for free.
Hope this helps :)
