I dream a world- 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!

James Mercer Langston Hughes was born the first of february 1902 and died the 22st of may 1967. He was an American poet, social activist, novelist.

L.H is very important in the American black history. Indeed, he is one of the only poets who speak for, to and about the blacks lifes. He had a leading voice during the Harlem Renaissance. He was important because he was one of the earliest figure to show the dignity and the beauty of ordinary black life.

ANALYSIS: 

So, we will present the poem “I dream a world”.

Topic: As the title said, we can see that The poet will discuss what kind of world he wishes the world to become. 
The autor explores racial and moral boundaries with an optimistic tone. The narrator speaks in a hopeful tone and expresses their personal thoughts and dreams of a world with no boundaries.

Narrator: The narrator is a man who expreseses an ideal world. I think it's an adult who can see the inequality between blacsk and whites. The narrator is maybe the autor. Because, they have many points in common. Indeed, L.H is a man who shows his point of view on the words through his poems.

Poetic language:

L.H mentioned the word “dream” 4 times throughout the poem, which shows his firmness towards achieving those values as much as possible.

        Lines1-4:
The narrator dreams of a world where love will over take hate and anger, and everyone will be forgiving.

He uses a metaphore when he says that “love will bless the earth” => He wants th show that love between persons will make a better world.

        Lines 5-8: 
The narrator dreams of a world in which greed will not rule the lives of  the people in the world.

“Where greed no longer saps the soul” is a personnification of the greed to express the narrator's moral opinion of greediness. The greed weakens the spirit and character of the man.

        Lines 9-12:
The narrator dreams of a world where the race of a person doesn't matter, and every person on the world is free. No one is superior to anyone else. He dreams of a world where everyone would be united. He also shows off the bounties of the earth. I think that he wants to say that the earth offer us what the man have to be happy together.
