first essay

1. Stevie,s song ‘hold on to your dream’ is so interesting I love each and every word in this song but some of the statements is so attractive like
”you feel  like give up ,you say you are out of luck
But then you hear a voice in your mind
Telling you to
Hold on to your dream”

We know the life has ups and downs ,we know everything don’t finish success so sometimes if you fail to reach your goal or dream don’t give up hold on to your dream and  you will be successful ,Paul Laurence’s song is about dreams and how he is broad to it ,at last paragraph he mention some bad memories before this  ,the most statement I  love is ”what dream we have and how they fly”   .

 2.Martin luther king  and Stevie wonder were both activists of civil rights ,they were living 20th century ,it was a time that civil rights was down, they fought  and struggle how to make people’s right equal, it was actually Quit difficult and had some memorial painful times.

Martin luther king and Stevie have some difference, Stevie always express his activist in way of songs and poems, which is emotional, Stevie made movement to create a national day for martin Luther king’s jr birthday, he has long history of improving blind people services and disabilities, Martin luther king’s activist is towards mainly equity of the African American ,white people ,Jews and latins rights, he was the leader of  southern Christian church ,finally he dead for his activist.

3. Langston hughes’s poem is about  dream ,let we take one statement and compare with Martin luther king historical speech “I have dream”, martin luther king was having a dream to make all the parts of the community equal and make America great,martin  luther king keep continue his dream until he killed for that reason ,Langston’s poem’s is just talk about to keep your dream even if your dream die and said:
Hold onto dreams
For if dreams die

  1. I like the positive approach you took here, Abdifatah, and nice job writing in an academic style. I would like you to edit these things in the post and re-publish:
    Essay 1, second paragraph: Make two sentences: Finally, Paul Laurence's poem...and change the ending: I don't know what you mean here.
    Essay 2, second paragraph: This sentence is too long. Make it into about 3 sentences.
    1. Change all MLK to Martin Luther King, make sure all names start with capital letters.
    I will check this again on Friday!
