How would you start a body paragraph in a essay?

Question

For my English class I need to explain how Langston Hughes uses imagery in the poem “Harlem” I also need to provide quotes from the poem and from critics to support his use of imagery.

Answer 1

BY LANGSTON HUGHES

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?

Hughes uses imagery throughout "Harlem". He compares a "dream deferred", the continuing struggle and disappointments of African Americans to "a rain in the sun" that dries up.

Etc...
