He Had His Dream
by Paul Dunbar

He had his dream, and all through life,

Worked up to it through toil and strife.

Afloat fore’er before his eyes,

It colored for him all his skies:

The storm–cloud dark

Above his bark,

The calm and listless vault of blue

Took on its hopeful hue,

It tinctured every passing beam—

He had his dream.

He labored hard and failed at last,

His sails too weak to bear the blast,

The raging tempests tore away

And sent his beating bark astray.

But what cared he

For wind or sea!

He said, ��The tempest will be short,

My bark will come to port.”

He saw through every cloud a gleam—

He had his dream.

B. He uses a variety of tenses to show the uncertain path the man faces.
C. He uses sentence fragments to show that the man feels broken.
D. He repeats a simple sentence to create an optimistic tone.

Answer 1

The syntax allows the author to avoid a formal structure to create the impression of turmoil in man's life.

Why does the author avoid formal structure?

• To make the poem visually disharmonious.
• To show that the text does not follow a pattern.
• To create a feeling of discomfort.

These elements reinforce the impression that the man's life was not easy and that he faced a lot of turmoil. However, these difficulties have not been able to bring down the man who continues to struggle with hopes for a better life.
