"Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring." by Martin Luther king J.R. This quote really meant a lot for the audience because that is what the audience really wanted. What Martin Luther King J.R. meant in that speech was that he wanted free everywhere. He did not just whant freedom in one state or in the U. S. he whanted freedom everywhere, the whole world. His audience, the black people, were really happy because they would love to be free anywhere they go. They share the same dream as Martin Luther King J.R.
What this quote meant to me was basically the same thing that the quote mentioned. To be able for one to have freedom everywhere. In this case it was for the black people. I think that the quote is something that has come true for in the U.S. but probably not for in the whole world. There are probably still places in where not just black people but probably some other people are not free. I hope one day that dream will come true.
A Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes
by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore-
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over-
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Or does it explode?
What happens to a depressed soul?
by Vicente Diaz
Does it crumble
Like a dry leaf being stepped on?
Or digs a hole deeper inside
And then sink in it?
Does it smell like the stench of blood?
Or taste like the chanse of hope?
Maybe it just tears you inside
Like bullet throught your heart?
Or does it collapse on you
Like a rocket crashing down on solid rock?
