What images does Langston Hughes use in his poem "Harlem II"
A. raisins in the sun
B. festering sores
C. stinky, rotten meat
D. all of the above
The correct answer is D. all of the above.
In Langston Hughes' poem "Harlem II" (also known as "Dream Deferred"), the poet uses multiple images to portray the consequences of dreams being postponed or denied. These images include raisins in the sun (a reference to the play "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry), which symbolize dried and withered dreams; festering sores, which signify the pain and resentment that can arise from unfulfilled aspirations; and stinky, rotten meat, which represents the decay and dissatisfaction caused by dreams being left to spoil.
