 **Bear In There by Shel Silverstein **  There's a Polar Bear In our Frigidaire-- He likes it 'cause it's cold in there. With his seat in the meat And his face in the fish And his big hairy paws In the buttery dish, He's nibbling the noodles, He's munching the rice, He's slurping the soda, He's licking the ice. And he lets out a roar If you open the door. And it gives me a scare To know he's in there-- That Polary Bear In our Fridgitydaire. [] POL Poem

//Or does it explode?//

What happens to a dream deferred? This is showing the emotion in the poem that it is about broken dreams The words dream, deferred, and explode should be emphasized because they explain the poem

if it didn’t pop out fat as an apple-cheeked peasant bride. Uses this as imagery to explain apple-cheeked peasant bride as the bread as it comes out and that if the rye did not come out the right way, Pumpernickel would not be happy

the hard oily flesh breaks open like a poem pulling out of its own stubborn complexity uses simile to better detail the poem and to explain and paint a picture of the bread when it comes out

apple-cheeked peasant bride. Uses cool, vivid words to explain the look and the imagery of the bread
