The short but inspirational poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes addresses what happens to aspirations that are postponed or lost.  The brief, mind provoking questions posed throughout the poem allow the readers to reflect--on the effects of delaying our dreams.  In addition, the questions give indications about Hughes' views on deferred dreams.

    "Harlem" is an open form poem.  The poem consists of three stanzas that do not have a regular meter.  To catch the reader's attention, the writer made sure that specific words and questions stood out.  As a result, the lengths of the lines vary and certain syllables are stressed in every line.   The first line in the poem: is the longest…show more content…

The last line, "Or does it explode?" (11) is an example of a metaphor.   The writer implies that a postponed dream--destroys, causes a violent or even disturbing emotional reaction.

    Langston Hughes was a successful African-American poet of the Harlem renaissance in the 20th century.  Hughes' had a simple and cultured writing style.  "Harlem" is filled with rhythm, jazz, blues, imagery, and evokes vivid images within the mind.  The poem focuses on what could happen to deferred dreams.  Hughes' aim is to make it clear that if you postpone your dreams you might not get another chance to attain it--so take those dreams and run.  Each question associates with negative effects of deferred dreams.  The imagery from the poem causes the reader to be pulled in by the writer's words.

2. List five objects that produce waves with a large amplitude and five that produce waves
Arada [10]

The objects that produce large amplitude waves are Stars, Large machines, Rocks falling from the mountain, Earthquakes, Volcanoes

The objects producing small amplitude waves include ping-pong ball, Tuning fork, stones, Speakers, Spring

<u>Explanation</u>:

The wave's amplitude is characterised by the ultimate displacement of an object from its median position. Generally, wave with high energy (or the waves emanating from big bodies or high energy bodies) are high amplitude waves. Since the body has a high amount of energy, it produces a comparatively large amount of displacement of the particle. hence the high amplitude.

Similarly, small bodies or bodies with less energy produces a low amplitude wave. This also can be understood in terms of displacement of the particle from its mean position.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

In lines 10–11 the speaker is referring to the importance of interpreting what is being read. On lines 20–21, the speaker shows that reading interpretation promotes knowledge and that knowledge is often a handicap for the soul.

Explanation:

In lines 10–11 the speaker is referring to the need that people have to interpret and understand what is being read, this is because if a person just reads, he is stuck with earthly life, he is limited to an environment, contained. However, the interpretation of reading makes the individual see beyond words and let go of this limitation.

However, once the reading has been interpreted, the individual gains knowledge, becomes detached from ignorance and is able to see things he did not see before. The problem is that this is often a disadvantage, showing that ignorance was a paradise, which was lost with the arrival of knowledge. This can be seen on lines 20–21.
