The Green Light- Google Classroom Assignment
“Gatsby believed in the green light, the future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter -- to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther . . . And one fine morning -- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

Dreams Deffered

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?
