Langston used the repetition of the word “sun” to show the sun breaking through the wall and letting in light to help guide him back to his dream, “Into a thousand lights of sun, into a thousand whirling dreams of sun.” The light from the sun is always there, but the wall is blocking it, so when he breaks through the wall he lets in the light. A simile is also used to show the happiness and beauty of him coming closer to getting his dream, “Bright like a sun-my dream.” This literally tells the reader that his dream is the sun, therefore letting in light from the broken wall is basically him finding his dream after being held back by an obstacle. Once he breaks through the wall with determination, the sun comes through and he is able to see his dream again. The author uses more repetition and a simile to show the triumph and happiness that he has gotten over coming so close to his dream
