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! :)

What effect does it have on the story that Grendel only seems to attack Herot at<br> night? *
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

It makes the story to be filled with suspense.

Explanation:

From the <em>Beowulf </em>story, the evil monster Grendel holds Denmark hostage because it has been attacking the towns within and destroying things, and none of the weapons the warriors have is able to do any damage to it.

Grendel attacks mead-hall Herot at night because he is totally evil and he hates to hear the happy laughter of men in the hall. He attacks them at night, kills many, leaves, and comes back another night to continue his torment.

This tactic makes the story filled with suspense because nobody knows what will happen next.

Answer:

Zanzabum

Parents have also been taught by society to eat and like the latest sweets and snack food. Therefore, it is really difficult to change this attitude that in the household. Browsing through the product label takes a lot of time and not many people do it. Another thing is that healthy food is very expensive. So that, people prefer sweets and snacks.
