Dreams
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Langston Hughes
I chose this poem by Langston Hughes because no matter what time or place, this poem can relate to you. It warns us to hold on to our dreams, as that is what keeps us going, and it gives us hope that one day we will fulfill them. This is very similar in that George and Lennie always had the dream of living on their own piece of land, having a laid back and free lifestyle, while at the same time, George kind of knew all along that that wasn't possible.
