How is the comparison in the final line different

Reference no: EM13561172

What happens to a dream deferred?

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?

Maybe it just sags
Like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

help me for these question please, thx a lot.

1. Why each of the comparisons is effective and meaningful?

2. how is the comparison in the final line different from the other five? how does that difference increase its power as well as the impact of the whole poem?

3. the poem refers to any dreams, but especially to the "American dream." relate it to the title of the poem and the consider the bitter ironies that reading evokes.
