Dream High
Dream High
Every single person has their own dream. Maybe it is small, maybe it is lofty, maybe it is simple, maybe it is hard to achieve. But Hip Hop and e.e.cummings tell us never give up your dream.
Some lyrics and poems talk about similar things, like talking about achieving dreams; both the lyrics and poems give us inspiration.
If we want to dream high, we must try ours’ best. Somebody have a dream, he has a lot of difficulty on the way of seeking the dream, but he has fire in his heart, so he perseveres in his dream and never give up. “ You don’t say good luck, you say don’t give up.”(The Fire)From the lyrics we can see, make an effort, must depend on yourself. And two old men have dreams, though they are old, but they still seek their dreams. “Still look dream.”(#12)The poem is similar to the lyrics, It also tells all people have dreams, whoever. Even an old man, his dream is not ridiculous at all. Dream is not only individual; peace is the common dream of the people.
In a peaceful world, all people’s dream flying high. It’s about war, people suffer calamities. “Mothers crying too often from they lost child leaving.”(Guns Are Drawn)It’s a lively description about people who lived in war. The war can bring people harm; peace is the common wish of the people. And then it’s about animals was fettered by human. “Where freedom is compulsory, and only man is god.” (#69)All lifes are equal; there should not be any fight between human and animals. Only if human live with animals in peace, the world will be finer, and dreams fly high.
Dream high in Hip Hop and e.e.cummings. In the Fire, a man tries his best to achieve his dream, he is strict with himself, and he never takes notice of other people’s ridicules, why? Because of his dream. And in e.e.cummings #12, two men have their own dreams, though they are old, but they still seek their dreams. So all people have dreams, even old man, if we want dream high, we must try hard.
Every single person have dreams, Hip

    Hope for a better future that makes you strive for something, and may help one get out of a current situation that isn’t so great. This poem reflects on how some are not even given a chance to have a dream, and how without that hope of a new dream, one can be weighed down greatly by everyday life. Those in the poem are not given a choice to do anything but the ‘involuntary plan already handed to them. The dream in the poem is always seen as unattainable, and that could be why it is only a thought in the back of their minds and unimportant to them, just as they feel they are unimportant to others. This unimportance makes it easy for them to forget the dream, just as they feel they have been forgotten by those who have created their involuntary…

    The first line in the poem bluntly addresses the audience with a strong voice and asks us the question, "What happens to a dream deferred?" This is one of the most compelling ways the audience is addressed by this poem. What does happen if you lose a dream? Where does that energy, fire, and desire go? What, as humans, are we supposed to do with that void? The loss of a dream is one of the biggest losses a person can experience; it is almost the same as the loss of a loved one because people may form strong, emotional ties to their hopes and ambition (Harlem: Analysis). With this in mind, we can assume the speaker is someone who is trying to cope with loss of their dream.…

    The poem begins with using “melodies” as an image. In the first phrase, “Like melodies draw it to me softly through the mind,” the word “melodies” seems to be symbolic of thoughts or memories. These melodies are like a tune that you cannot get out of your head, a memory that he is unable to forget.…

    Everyone has a dream that they should work for to make them happy. That dream only comes true once someone puts in hard work and extraneous amounts of effort to achieve it. Once they achieve their dream, they start a new one. For many people my age, the dream may be college, a career path, or accomplishing something in the future they always have wanted to do. My dream is to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison and be a member of the marching band. I know that not only will I have to work hard academically, I will have to practice my marching and always keep a positive attitude, even when the pressure is heavy to do well. The things I must always remember are to give my best, dream big, and “Full speed ahead, Don't give up the…

    The word “dreams” is repeated a total of four times throughout the poem indicating its importance to the author and the theme of the story, which is about firmly grasping on to the opportunities presented by life before they escape and therefore it becomes meaningless as stated by Hughes in the line (“For when dreams go life becomes a barren field”). Although the poem seems gloomy the repetition of the word “dreams” represents the importance of holding on to hope even when the odds are unfavorable.…

    This poem by Langston Hughes is a very complicated. In it the speaker paints a picture of what might happen to someone’s dream if it is postponed too long. This idea is the overall theme of the poem and it is what unifies and connects each line to the poem as a whole. There are also indirect references that this is not only the dream of an individual, but an entire race’s struggle to achieve peace and liberation. This poem consists of a series of answers to the question, “What happens to a dream deferred?” All of the lines following this first question are presented as different similes.…

    Misty Copeland, now a soloist at American Ballet Theatre, started with almost nothing. Even though Misty was encouraged to quit dancing by her own mother because they couldn’t afford it and she wasn’t spending enough time with her family, she never gave up. Throughout the Dream Unit, we have learned about the stories of many people and about how their dreams did or did not come true. It is completely worth it to dream because no matter the outcome, we will have improved from where we started, we will push ourselves to work our hardest, and dreams can come true.…
