A Dream Deferred is a good example of both the Harlem Renassaince and Disillusionment. Hughes talks about how the American Dream is made out to look so good and so easy, but it's not, and it doesn't reach many of the people. Through the Poem Hughes is asking the reader about the American Dream deferred " Does it stink like rotten meat? " Another thing I really enjoyed about this poem is its rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme used makes reading the poem so much more interesting and makes things stick a lot easier.
"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?"
