i think the athor had peace love and hope in her heart so she had the inspiration to write this poem and show kids love
ReplyDeleteStanza 1: means to me that MLK thought of us as family. Stanza 2: means that MLK had a dream that every little boy and girl would have simple given joy. Stanza 3: means MLK shared his wise deam to every one. And he thought that nobody should walk and do stuff alone. Stanza 4: means to me that MLK wanted racism freedom for everyone he said " we have hope." And that is what I think this MLK poem is about.
ReplyDeleteTo me the poem means that Dr Martin Luther King Jr understood that the people needed to come together to fight for equal rights. His dream also was for boys and girls not to be judged by their color but they would be judged by how they act. The third stanza means to me that if they didn't join hands they would not have as much strength to fight for their rights. The last stanza means to me that the most important weapon to use is love and the more hope we have the better our future.
ReplyDeleteThe first stanza of the poem made me feel that I should not hit or hate my brother.
ReplyDeleteThe second stanza makes me feel that all boys and girls should be happy, no matter what.
The third stanza makes me feel that I will never walk alone and that there will always be a parent next to me.
The last stanza makes me feel that I can sing and not get mad when I sing, It makes me feel like I am free when I sing.
i think that mlk dream was for blacks and whites not to be segregated and for blacks and whites to be together.i think that the second part means to me that blacks and whites would be joyful of being together and that was also part of his dream.the third part means to me that he did not want for freedom alone.the last part means to me that they had lots of hope so it was there hope and they would just let freedom for blacks come eventually.
ReplyDelete1st: he understood that people didn't have to be above somebody to be stronger they could also be equal. 2nd: every boy and girl would be happy and not feel excluded 3rd: be brave and strong we will all be there for you 4th: he means to be free stand up and stay together. thats what they mean to me.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is related some how and everyone should be treated equally.Children should be treated with respect.People should help the ones marching they need help.One day everyone can be treated equally and can be friends.

ReplyDeleteThis poem means to me that MLK thought of the whole world as his own family and that one day people will not care if there friend is black or white and people will join hands and black or white people will be and solve problems problems with peace and justice and the world will all love each other black or white
ReplyDeleteThe first stanza mean's to me that every light skinned man is his family even if they were bad people to him and other dark skin people.
ReplyDeleteThe second stanza mean's to me that he want's his dream to touch everyone's heart so they all can fight for their freedom.
ReplyDeleteThe third stanza mean's to me that he wanted to fight for freedom but he couldn't do it himself he wanted everyone to join in.
ReplyDeleteit feels like freedom and hop and also a nether path of freedom that makes boys and girls of any color can share love and hop and also shrug.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth stanza mean's to me that their being loved and that they are loved so much that they can acutely get what they are fighting for.
ReplyDeletei meant hope and sharing
ReplyDeleteThat poem means this to me, I am friends with a lot of kids, three of them I could not be friends with because of Jim Crow laws. Now because of MLK I can be friends with them. It's like a sturdy brotherhood.
ReplyDeleteIf I was not friends with them I would not have learned as many things as I do know so I must not walk alone.
The first stanza means to me that MLK really fought hard for his dream and that he wanted everyone one to be equal.The second stanza means to me that he wanted every child to be happy and friends and that he really believed in himself.The third stanza means to me that everyone agreed with him and that EVERYONE would protest for there rights.The fourth stanza means to me that his dream would hopefully come true and that we would all work together.
ReplyDeleteI think that Martin Luther King was a good and generous man. In his speech he wanted us to have equal rights. It made me think of my dream to give Egypt freedom and rights. Like Dr.Martin Luther King I would like to share my dream too. You have to work very hard to achieve your dreams. Dr.Martin Luther King would be so proud to see how far people have come.
ReplyDeleteThese words mean to me that MLK had a dream that there should be joy in the world and no more segregation boys and girl should be friends even though you are a different race.the second stanza means to me that MLK had another dream people should never be separated we should all be together.The third stanza stanza means to me that there should be freedom all the time no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI think this poem means that everyone is equal and they should all be together and treated the same. The first stanza means that every person should be together and treat each other like family. I think the second stanza means that every boy and girl should be happy just because they can be free. I think the third stanza means unless we all work together we won’t be able to have equal rights for all people. I think the fourth stanza means that Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that everyone should be treated equally and be happy living together.
ReplyDeleteI think the 1st stanza means that ''we are a family ''. Each boy and girls has joy in themselves. His words spoke and we get together. All hearts sing hope never goes away and let freedom rise.
ReplyDeleteI think this poem means that you should help make Martin Luther' King's Dream happen by embracing friends that can be found all around you.
ReplyDeleteThe first stanza means that Martin Luther King understood that people are stronger if they stand together. The second stanza means that you can find happiness by fulfilling his dream. The third stanza means that we have to make this dream real by doing it together. The last stanza means that if we join together we can accomplish great things and it will bring us joy and that is what we should do as American citizens.
In the first stanza I think it means Martin Luther King Jr. understands working together makes us stronger. In the second stanza I think it means he had a dream that everyone would be happy. In the third stanza I think it means he shared his dream that we should all be together. In the fourth stanza I think it means we can all hope for freedom together.
ReplyDeleteI think Dr Martin Luther king jr. Understood that we should have equal rights and never March alone always fight for our right the first stanza means he believes in a strong,powerful brotherhood (family) the second stanza means that every child should be happy and get along. The third stanza means we should all stay together and fight for our rights. The fourth stanza means we should live in a freedom world.

ReplyDelete2. He wanted each girl and boy to be happy

I think the poem means to stay together and it does not matter what color you are. In the first stanza he is trying to tell you everyone stick together. In the second stanza he is trying to tell you can have a colored moms or dads and not colored moms or dads. In the third stanza he is trying to tell you not to stay away from different races. In the fourth stanza he is trying to tell you that different races can be mixed.
ReplyDeleteI think the first part means he understands the struggle and be kind no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI think the second part means that he wishes that all races be treated the same.
I think the third part means we join for justice and Martin's wise words changed the world and helped black people.
I think the last part means that every woman and man of all races would respect each other.
This poem means he is trying to say is he wants white and black in the same school and come people walk with us he understood be standing up for his self and let people be friends with blacks and whites and he had a dream that freedom ring that let people get on the bus and not stand sit down.
ReplyDeleteThe poem meant we should always work together because we are helpless alone. Because he believed in non-violent walks the more people the more powerful the protest.
