Dreams by Langston Hughes
Hughes main points reflect his beliefs of holding on to dreams in any situation.
In the first sentence Hughes says to, "Hold fast to dreams." By "fast" I believe the connotation Hughes intends to stress is the strength at which one should hold on to their dreams.
Hughes is passionate about dreams and his passion carries over to the reader. With vivid imagery he is able to truly capture the reader.Honestly there is no shift in the poem. It simply relays the same message throughout the entire work.Simply dream is what I believe Hughes wanted the reader to understand.
