Instead, I loved creating and playing stories with barbies, stories involving dragons, princes and princesses, kings and queens, and knights and villains. These stories often contained…

In the poem “Dreams” by Langston Hughes, I feel like the speaking is trying to say that we should not give up and always try to achieve our dreams. Never let go of your dreams, hopes and aspirations, even if you may get lost along the way. The poet uses two significant metaphors and personification to point this out.
