Raisin in the <\/span><\/span><\/i>Sun Essay Instructions<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Write a clear, well-developed, precise <\/span>research <\/span><\/u>essay on one of the following topics on Lorraine Hansberry\u2019s <\/span>Raisin in the Sun. <\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure you identify which topic you chose by writing under your title  <\/span><\/span>#1 or #2 to indicate which topic you selected to write about in your essay. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Topic Choice #1:  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Langston Hughes\u2019 poem \u201cHarlem\u201d poses a question: \u201cWhat happens to a dream deferred?\u201d Why do you think Lorraine Hansberry chose this poem as the epigraph for <\/span>A Raisin in the Sun<\/i>? Write an essay in which you discuss the various \u201cdreams\u201d that come into conflict in the play. Which \u201cdream\u201d does the play seem to endorse? Does it ultimately answer Hughes\u2019s question?  <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Topic Choice #2:<\/span><\/p>\n

Hansberry\u2019s play expores not only the evolving cultural and economic positions of African-Americans in the mid-twentieth century, but also their evolving gender roles, a subject on which Robert C. Weaver also comments briefly in \u201cThe Negro as an American.\u201d Write an essay in which you discuss the crucial role that gender, economic class, or culture plays in the action of <\/span>A Raisin in the Sun.<\/i> <\/span> <\/span>Make sure you refer to specific details both from Hansberry\u2019s play and Weaver\u2019s article. There is a link to Weaver\u2019s article in this week\u2019s \u2018Required Reading\u2019 section.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Tips on Conducting Research for this Assignment:<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/span><\/p>\n

    In writing about <\/span>Raisin in the Sun<\/i>, a student should use university-level research resources. For instance, a student can avail of <\/span> <\/span>a peer-reviewed article in an academic journal that refers to racism  or the housing situation in Chicago in the 1950s, or the student can find literary criticism on the play’s depiction of African American families. <\/span> <\/span>It\u2019s up to you what type of reference to choose that would enrich your paper\u2019s arguments <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/span><\/p>\n

    Avoid basic guides like Sparknotes, Schmoop, Wikipedia, etc.  that simplify complex literary classics. The researched information bolsters the student’s assertions in the paper further enhancing the student’s credibility and persuasiveness in presenting arguments about the play. However, it is important that the paper consists mostly of the student’s own interpretation of the play expressed in his or her own words. The research merely supports the student’s insights and should be used minimally. Avoid using lengthy quotations. The SafeAssign score for the paper should be less than 30% to avoid plagiarism.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/span><\/p>\n

    Use the online library which provides more academic, scholarly resources than a mere search engine like Google.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
