Activity 2 Read and analyze DREAM Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.

A.C. Swinburne [li f] [gri f] [t ɡe ] [ we ] [ z] [kl siz] [ z] [li f] A Match The poem Dream by Langston Hughes is very short with only 8 lines. When I read the pome aloud I can hear that the ends of the second and fourth sentences rhyme-- “die” and “fly”. The last word from the sixth and eighth sentences also rhyme-- “go” and “snow”. These rhyming words sound nice and make the poem pleasing to read. When I close my eyes, I can see different images from the poem. For example, I can see two hands being held. I can see a bird flying in the sky. I can see a field and I can imagine what it looks like with lots of snow. I start to feel cold when I read these lines! I learnt a new phrase, “hold fast”, which means to hold onto something. “Barren” is also a new word to me, which means empty. I think the poet is giving us advice. He wants us to keep dreaming, because life is much better when we dream and have something to look forward to. poetic form poetic language （ryhming words） poetic imagery： （有很强的画面感） poetic language （new words） poetic meaning Activity 3 Write a short essay about a poem Read the poems on page 56 and then complete the table.
