Select the best evidence to support the statement "The narrator feels the anticipation of something is often better than the thing itself." There may be more than one correct choice.
Have you ever wanted something very badly and then gotten it? Then you know
that winning is many things, but it is never the thing you thought it would be.
Poor people who win the lottery do not become rich people. They
become
poor
people who won the lottery. She was a very beautiful person who was missing
something very ugly. Her winnings were the absence of something, and this quality
hung around her. There was so much potential in the imagined removal of the
birthmark; any fool on the bus could play the game of guessing how perfect she
would look without it.

hi im willing to but need more info

the major theme of langston hughes’s montages of a dream deferred is the deferred, or delayed, american dream of african americans. the poem is about how african americans failed to achieve their goals in time:

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.

to get through high high school at twenty's kind of late–

but maybe this year i can graduate.

the poem also depicts how african americans had to keep postponing their needs with a hope that someday they would be able to obtain what they desired:

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,

cold-water flat and all that.

but now my daughter’s married

and my boy's most grown–

quit school to work

and where we're moving

there ain't no stove–

maybe i can buy that white enamel stove!

however, despite their deferred dreams, the poem shows the refusal of african americans to give up easily and let go of their dreams of a better life. their dreams may have been delayed, but they did not lose hope.

is the answer
