I Had a Dream in Time That Is No Longer Here Is there really a way to be patriotic without being biased… no. We have all heard the phrase, The American Dream, the dream of explorations to not only find ourselves but to reach our dreams with the help of others.

This poem is told by the poor, the pushed away or shunned, and the workers. These people are the people who suffer from rough conditions and depression. At the very beginning Hughes shows the true feelings that will strike those dreams of being high in status or not having to look up to someone right out of the sky, “America was never America to me” (Hughes, line 5). This line tells so much in so little time, it shows how he and how everyone at that time feels like they have been cheated and tricked, it will tell that everything anyone’s ever said was wrong and its nothing but a dream. Hughes also writes, “and who are you that draws your veil across the stars” (line 18). What powers grants the to dash our hopes and darkens the light in our eyes? It is very easy to connect and engage in the authors emotions throughout this line because our parents say dream big but if it’s out of their way the child will no longer want. Like everyone else we want to be a part of each other’s
