Different types of boundaries are illustrated throughout the poem. A moral boundary is one of the boundaries displayed in this poem.
"Where greed no longer saps the soul"
The persona has written about this moral boundary to describe human's greed now and how wishes that there would be no greed.
The persona has then continued on to write and display a racial boundary.
"A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free"
This use of a racial boundary illustrates his concern for the way society is living today and that racial boundaries are not needed; that all humans should be treated with respect and equality.
The persona has used effective language techniques that engage readers.
A simile has been illustrated in tthis text.
"And joy, like a pearl"
This simile has been used to compare a magnificent pearl that shines just like a human's feelings when they are joyful.
Another technique used in this poem was the rhyme scheme that was used. This scheme was used to suit the style of the poem and so it would sound smooth.
"I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its path adorn."
The persona has repeated one line in this poem that he wishes to get across to the reader. This is not the world society lives today in but the world he dreams of and this is the statement that he wants the reader to think about.
"I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its path adorn.
I dream a world where all
Will know the sweet freedom's way,
Where greed will no longer sap the soul
Nor avarice blights our day."
"I Dream a World" has been written in subjective language as it is a personal poem written by the persona and they have not had to complete research to write it.
