“Dreams” Metaphors: The speaker tells the reader to: For if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow The speaker tells the reader to: hold on to dreams… don’t let them go What is the theme of “Dreams” A life without dreams is nothing-- dreams are what give life meaning… dreams give us hope
