Today in class we continued to discus the poem that we talk about in Friday's class. The poem talks about how if a dream is left alone it will become something bad and distorted from what it originally was. We also talked about who would agree and disagree with the poem in 1951. My group came up with the people that would disagree with the poem would be the wealthy and the people that have worked hard to make their dream a reality. These people that work for their dream might even come from impoverish neighborhoods and have nothing to their name. They would do everything to make it come true and would work much harder then ever before. The rich wouldn't agree because they don't understand having to work for your dream or even having your dream not coming true. The people that would agree with it would be the people who's dreams didn't come true and the people who didn't have any advantages and opportunities.

This can be brought into the real world as it might help you see different people's views. It might make you think how a comment might affect a person or how to better talk to a group of people. This would help with speeches as it could help you better affiliate and find common ground so that they will better listen and agree with you. It could also help you break down other people's comments and speeches so you can see who it is truly meant for which would be very beneficial in learning about politics which everyone above a certain age should do. This is also used by companies in marketing for when they are choosing a demographic that they want to buy their toy or item.
