"Harlem" by Langston Hughes and "Hold fast your dreams" by Louise Driscoll are similar and
different in terms of their message about following one's dream. They both talk about dreams
as goals. "Harlem" is different in that it has a negative tone and tells the reader to put his or
her dream on hold. "Hold Fast Your Dreams" is different in that it has a positive tone and tells
the reader to hold onto his or her dream. Following your dreams is an important message
conveyed in both poems because
