What happens to a dream deferred?Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?Or fester like a sore--And then run?Does it stink like rotten meat?Or crust and sugar over--like a syrup sweet?Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.Or does it explode?





Similes are used for this poem as the poet wanted to give the readers an idea of what a deferred dream in his opinion like "dry up like a raisin' in the sun". Personification is also used for this poem. The poet mentioned that the dream would run, giving the idea that it may just disappear someday. Hyperbole is used throught this whole poem. The poet exaggerated a lot like fester like a sore. In reality this kind of things would not happen, maybe he was just trying to relate a dream to some kind of living thing that is neglected.






This poem does not have a unique style of writing but the words used are very unique. Syrup by itself is already very sweet, but the poet added crust and sugar on it which made the syrup as sweet as possible. The poet compared the smell of the dream and the two examples are very far apart. I do not know what his motive is but I just find it very interesting. The poem is simple and the words are easy to understand but the inner meanings are difficult. It may just seem like a guy expressing his thoughts about a deferred dream but I believe that there is a much deeper meaning in it though i do not know what it is.

Speech on illeha; sale of organs

In India, illegal sale of organs is very common.Most of them were very poor and thus they sold their organs but some cases was because dishonest doctors removing their organs qithout their consent and sellling it for his own profit.
Why is this happpening?One of the reasons is because the officials of India are corrupted(this is what i think it may not be true)that is why the people are so poor and had to sell their organs to make ends meet.
Next is the greediness and mankind.The doctors were greedy so they secretly removed their patients' organ to sell for money.Now the technology is very advanced and people stay in their houses or work all day.Thus they exercise very rarely or never at all and in the end suffer from illness.When the hospital doesn't have enough organs to help them transplant,they resort to buying organs in order to save their lives.
The government should do something about the increasing cases of illegal sale of organs instead of sitting down there and pretending nothing had happened.If the number of such cases keeps increasing ,India would be unpleasant for tourists and foreign investments.In the end it is still the people who suffer.

Current Affairs (Term 1 Wk 9)

Q: Write a 400-word exposition on gender equality in your country.

In Singapore,gender equality isn't much of a problem.Male and female are treated equally and some female excel in their work and produce work of better quality than male.

What about in other countries?Are gender equality a problem?

Take America for example,it may appear that there isn't a problem but i feel that that is a great problem.You may see the males there as decent and upright but behind the scenes they desire porn to feel good thus they treat female as sex toys.They don't love the woman they have sex with and often throw them away once he has gotten tired with her.

When females own loan shark money,they won't be killed.The loan shark will force her to strip and take a camera and take a few photographs and post it to the internet.Unlike males,the kind of treatment they recieve is far worse.Males would normally be beaten up but females would be forced to do take naked pictures to repay their debt.Being hurt emotionally is far worse than being hurt physically as being hurt physically is instant but being hurt emotionally is forever.

Due to the overwhelming desire of sex,porn websites are created and normally the female suffer the most.Now,America even has a programme called the "Naked News" when the female reporters are made to report naked.This problem does not only occur in America but also other countries too. Austrialia now has naked woman wash cards.The owners of the car get to watch the female naked while washing his car for more money.The company uses woman to strip to help him earn money.

In Japan,romance manga and hentai animes often contain sex scenes which focuses on the woman's body and reactions but all the male do is rape them.This shows that woman are mainly recognised as tools to satisfy males.

I don't mean that there is no gender equality though.In the past,woman were thought to be useless except for housework,prostitudes,opera singers and etc.They were made to stay in the house to learn housework and were often treated worse boys.Even though they had talent,they were not given a chance to reveal it to the world as they cannot study,become officials.

Now,things are much different.Everywhere you go,you can see female working.They are no longer forced to stayed at home and they can even produce work of greater quality than men nowadays.In Sindapore,females excel more then men and they work for the government with high pays.This shows that gender equality is not a problem in Singapore.Considering the facts I have stated,Singapore would be a country where male and female are treated more equally.
