Answer:
Two examples of figurative language in the poem are:
"raisin in the sun" and "rotten meat"
It is figurative language as it gives readers a visual image of what the author refers to as "dream deferred". In the case of "raisin in the sun" it makes readers a mental image of a sunset or sunrise when the sun rises or sets. And with "rotten meat" it makes readers think at some point that they bought rotten meat or that they let it rot by accident. My three words are:
"heavy load", "fester like a sore" and "dry up".
The phrase "heavy load" creates the feeling that the "dream deferred" feels heavy to carry, since one feels bad about it. The phrase "fester like a sore" refers to the fact that in a sore there is pain since it is a wound but also if you do not take care of it rots, it can be interpreted that "dream deferred" refers to the fact that it was not given due care to the dream and that made it rot. And finally "dry up" can be interpreted as "dream deferred" which refers to the fact that like a river dreams dried up, and the person lost hope in his dream.
