there it is

In the poem There it is by Jayne Cortez talks about how if we human beings don't fight for our rights and unite together we can not get it done, we will not be strong enough to fight the problems that Lay ahead. there will be many situations in this world where it will be important for us to band together and be one to stop the evil or even help out in times of need. Cortez is saying that if we don't do this in these desperate times then we will regret it with horrible looks of captivity, submission, suicide, fear and repression. all these things can be stop by working together. if we don't fight back against these things then we will have these negative looks forever

Harle

In the poem Harlem by langston hughes he is talking about what happens when you have dreams that are being halted, or forgotten or put on the back burner. There are many things that can happened with dreams that are deferred. personally i try and reach all my dreams so i don't have to look back in how ever many years and ask my self why i didn't do it. I like to live with no regrets so i always try and keep my dreams in front of me and complete them to the fullest. Hughes uses similes and metaphors to explain some different outcomes that could happen to peoples who have there dreams deferred. my favorite line in the poem is when he says "maybe it sags like a heavy load" this is the reason i go 100% in everything i do, if i don't I'm worried I'm going to have a heavy burden like this following me around.
