Answer:
1. Poet Langston Hughes wrote the poem DREAMS.
2. The speaker urges the reader to hold on tightly to dreams, comparing the pain of life without dreams to the ordeal of an injured bird that can't get off the ground.
3. The metaphor in the second stanza, that "Life is a barren field / Frozen with snow," really conveys the lost potential of a life without dreams. To be barren means that nothing can grow, and if this is applied to one's life, it means that all one's potential is lost.
4. "Hold fast to dreams" means 'don't let go of your dreams. ' "For when dreams go" means 'because if you give up on them...' "Life is a barren field" means 'life becomes a place of hopelessness and emptiness.
'Dreams' by Langston Hughes encourages readers to hold fast to their desires and goals, because without them, life is bleak and without hope. ... In 'Dreams,' Hughes employs the use of a metaphor more than once when he compares life to both a broken-winged bird and a barren and frozen field.
