1. Why did you choose this poem?

I chose this poem because I personally like this poem, this poem reinterprets
once again Langston Hughes view on equality and his desires to live in a word
with equality and freedom without racism. The persona dreams of a world where
no racial boundaries are apparent and we all live in harmony and freedom. The
personas optimistic tone in this verse conveys the fact that the reality of racial
prejudice in society, interferes with such a dream. The use of the abcb rhyming
scheme allows the audience to easily follow the poem because of the rhythmic
flow.
2. What is the theme of the poem?
Ones colour shouldnt determine their opportunities in life; we should live in a
world where every man is equal, where ever man is free, and a world where there
are now limitations. The HR theme that this poem is trying to portray is
determination to fight against oppression. By writing this poem, Langston Hughes
hopes that society feel his pain and feels the need to change the way things were
back in the 1920's. Another HR theme in this poem is desire to reconstruct the
meaning of negro, by writing this poem Langston Hughes is trying to change the
way African Americans are treated in society. Black or white people should be
treated with respect and have equal opportunity.
3. What is the poem all about?
In this poem James Langston Hughes writes about the world he dreams of.
Although the poem is very short it really speaks out and gets the point across. In
the poem he talks about how he wants freedom and how he wishes for peace and
love in the world his lives in. When Langston Hughes writes, "A world I dream
where black or white, Whatever race you be, Will share the bounties of the
earth And every man is free" this is the part that really stands out to me. He is
saying that he just wants equality for everyone on earth no matter if they are black
or white; he just wants everybody to be happy and free.

I Dream A World
By: Langston Hughes

I dream a world where man


No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn

I dream a world where all


Will know sweet freedom's way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.

A world I dream where black or white,


Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,

Where wretchedness will hang its head


And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!
