39. An Analysis of "Dreams" by Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams  For if dreams die  Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field   Frozen with snow.

40. Poem's theme:
Langston Hughes uses figurative language to stress the importance of having dreams;
He uses metaphors to show how miserable a life without dreams becomes.
Langston Hughes uses personification and imagery to contrast a life with dreams and a life without dreams.
Therefore: The speaker advises the reader to hold onto dreams because if dreams die, life will be like a bird with damaged wings that cannot fly. When dreams go away, life is a “barren field” covered with frozen snow.

41. It's the figurative language that gives the poem power
It's the figurative language that gives the poem power.  Each stanza contains a metaphor.  The first stanza compares a life without dreams to a "broken-winged bird."  A broken-winged bird's life has no purpose, much in the same way a life without dreams has no purpose. 
The second stanza compares a life without dreams to a "barren field frozen with snow."  A field is created for the purpose of providing life.  A barren field does not fulfill its purpose.  A life is created to give and provide life to others.  A life without dreams does nothing.
