read the excerpt, and then complete the sentence that follows.
deferred
by langston hughes (excerpt)
this year, maybe, do you think i can graduate?
i’m already two years late.
dropped out six months when i was seven,
a year when i was eleven,
then got put back when we come north…
maybe now i can have that white enamel stove
i dreamed about when we first fell in love
eighteen years ago.
but you know,
rooming and everything
then kids . .
me, i always did want to study french.
it don't make sense—
i'll never go to france,
but night schools teach french . .
someday,
i'm gonna buy two new suits
at once!
all i want is
one more bottle of gin.
all i want is to see
my furniture paid for.
langston hughes and jazz formats in this poem to emphasize how african american dreams remained unfulfilled.
