Read the excerpt from "Harlem.”

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?

How should readers connect to what they know so they can visualize what a dream deferred is like?

by thinking about what a dry raisin is like
by thinking about what a dream is like
by thinking about what a poet is like
by thinking about what a hot day is like
