2nd Possible blog for chapter 2

In chapter 2 of The Watsons, Kenny speaks about reading a Langston Hughes poem to the class.

Look at the following video/slideshow of the Langston Hughes poem, Dreams.


Think about how the creator of this video chose different very specific images to reflect the meaning of every line in this poem. For example for the line "hold fast to dreams" showed someone holding their hand with the world in the background.

1. Choose one of the following poems by Langston Hughes:
As I Grew Older
Dream Variations
I Too, Sing America

2. Pick three lines from one of the poems.

3. In your comment, copy the lines and give a detailed
description of the picture you would put on the background of each of those lines if you were creating a video.
