Give the critical analysis of the poem “As I Grew
Older.”

SUMMARY:

Langston Hughes ‘As I Grew Older’ begins about a dream that the poet had ‘long time ago.’ The poet says his dream, bright as the sun, was right in front of him until a wall rose between him and his dream. The poet is an old man now and he is thinking about his dream which he dreamt long time ago. He thinks he has almost forgotten his dream. He remembers that his dream was not fulfilled as a strong barrier was created by his fellow white people who will not let his dream come true. The wall seems to grow forever and ever and it has become it has become so taller that it ‘rose until it touched the sky.’ The dream which was as bright as the sun has now turned dark. The wall has become a long dark shadow and has been blocking his dream. The dream being replaced by a shadow, the poet has become black.

The poet lies down beside the shadow which means he feels defeated and helpless. He finds that his dream is no longer above him and so he feels vanquished. Instead of his dreams, he finds the ‘thick wall’ and the ‘shadow’ above him. A plausible interpretation can be that the dream of freedom and independence is no longer real for the blacks and it has been overshadowed by the wall created by the fellow white people.

‘Dark hands’ refers to the poet’s own hands, the color of his skin, who will be able to ‘break through the wall’ and ‘find his dream.’

The poet wants to break the wall and shatter the darkness that is keeping him from attending his dream. He wants to break the shadow into thousand lights of sun and thousands of whirling dreams.

your little brother never tells
you but he loves you so
you said your mother only
smiled on her tv show
you're only happy when your
sorry head is filled with dop e
I hope you make it to the day
you're 28 years old
you're dripping
like a saturated sunrise
you're spilling like an
overflowing sink
you're ripped at every edge
but you're a masterpiece
and now I'm tearing through
the pages and the ink
everything is blue
his pills, his hands, his jeans
and now I'm covered in the colors
pulled apart at the seams
and it's blue
and it's blue
everything is grey
his hair, his smoke, his dreams
and now he's so devoid of color
he don't know what it means
and he's blue
and he's blue
you were a vision in the morning
when the light came through
I know I've only felt religion
when I'm lying with you
you said I'll never be
forgiven 'til your boys are too
and I'm still waking every
morning but it's not with you
you're dripping
like a saturated sunrise
you're spilling like an
overflowing sink
you're ripped at every edge
but you're a masterpiece
and now I'm tearing through
the pages and the ink
everything is blue
his pills, his hands, his jeans
and now I'm covered in the colors
pulled apart at the seams
and it's blue
and it's blue
everything is grey
his hair, his smoke, his dreams
and now he's so devoid of color
he don't know what it means
and he's blue
and he's blue
art is not what I create (you were red and you liked me
what I create is chaos 'cause I was blue
you touched me and suddenly I
was a lilac sky
and you decided purple just
wasn't for you)
everything is blue

BEN: What's the best way to get a pooch to behave?
Reward him (or her)! Rewarding good behavior works
better than punishing bad behavior (at least with dogs).
Think about it. No one likes to be yelled at, and that
includes canines! Dogs are a lot happier if their owner
isn't yelling "STOP BARKING!" My dog Yoda barks a
lot. So what I do is this: If he stops barking when I ask
him to, I make a little tiny clicking sound with a clicker
(like a castanet) and give him a treat and say, "Good
doggie." This encourages him to behave.

Read the excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech.

[1] I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

[2] Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

[3] But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free; one hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination; one hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity; one hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land.

Which phrase from the text provides the best context clue to determine the meaning of "manacles" in paragraph 3?

One hundred years later
Chains of discrimination
Lonely island of poverty
Vast ocean of material prosperity
