Question

Read the excerpt from "Harlem." Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Which question helps show the meaning of the simile in this poem? Does a deferred dream grow bigger? Is a deferred dream hot like the sun? Is a deferred dream soft like old fruit? Does a deferred dream shrink and wither?

Answer 1

Does a deferred dream shrink and wither?

Step-by-step explanation:

The above is true due to the fact that dry up like a raisin in the sun can be liked to a dream that shrinks and withers. That is, the dream does not come true, but rather is lost forever due to unfortunate incidences.
