MULTIPLE SELECT QUESTION

What type of figurative language is used here?

Harlem

By Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

      Does it dry up

      like a raisin in the sun?

      Or fester like a sore—

      And then run?

      Does it stink like rotten meat?

      Or crust and sugar over—

      like a syrupy sweet?

      Maybe it just sags

      like a heavy load.

      Or does it explode?

It uses allusion because the "dream" is a reference to the American Dream, which was deferred from the African Americans.

It uses anaphora through the repetition of the phrase "does it". This repetition creates a sense of rhythm and emphasis in the poem.

It uses similes in the poem by comparing the deferred dream to "a raisin in the sun", "a sore", "a rotten meat", etc.

It uses a rhetorical question to provoke thought and discussion about the consequences of deferred dreams.
