Just as any well composed story or film, in A Raisin in the Sun there are structural elements that strategically map the play. Moreover, I contend that the inciting incident would be the fact that the family was expecting a large life insurance check from the death of Mr. Walter Lee Younger, Sr. In the 1950s, $10,000 was a large amount of money, especially for working class African Americans. It was not surprising that everyone in the family had their own plans as to how they would have liked to

We Wear The Mask was written in 1886 with post slavery America being the significant historical backdrop. In this poem, Dunbar explores the duality of experience of African American's at this time. The outward experience presented to the world at large - “We wear the mask that grins and lies” - versus the inward truth of suffering and turmoil - “With torn and bleeding hearts we smile”. Slavery had ended, but there was still the backlash against African American social and economic advancement, and

Imagine being taunted for having to wear potato-sack dresses because of poverty, or growing up in impoverishment American housing projects. Two of the most famous people had to go through those trails in their life, but made it out VERY successfully. Oprah was raised being taunted for having to wear potato-sack dresses because of her poverty. Oprah now has a television network called OWN. She is a talk-show host, a book club president, an actress, a producer, a magazine owner, a satellite radio station

Oppression is at the root of many of the most serious, enduring conflicts in the world. Times were tough in America during the turn of the century. Lots of changes were occurring, and many folks had a difficult time coming to terms with them. Black Americans in particular found themselves caught in a culture that appeared somewhat better than it had been before and during the Civil War. But the fact of the matter was: things just weren't so peachy. This poem is a reaction to the racial climate of

The United States has experienced a time of great hardship with many great changes in society. Black Americans may have found an era of greater opportunity and better than what they had in the past; However, they themselves still find themselves trapped in many negative things. The poem of Paul Laurence Dunbar, first published in The Lowly Life's Poem (1896), was a response to race in the late nineteenth century. He talks about hypocrisy, deceit, and the fact that black Americans often use content

Her Mistress’s Clothes by Harriet Cany Peale is a wonderful example of a composition that identifies African American and Anglo-Saxon women in 1848, displaying the difference of race and their identities within this period. Cany Peale’s painting shows an Anglo-Saxon woman engaging with an African American woman, at first glance, one could assume this is a genre painting, that of a peaceful scene demonstrating people in everyday activities (“Genre Painting”). Two women intimately engaging “in a grooming

Young, Gifted and Black: Promoting High Achievement Among African-American Students includes sections from three educators turned authors that discuss specific issues that affect educational performance of Blacks in America’s educational system while also assigning potential practical solutions to these problems. In a debate over their lack of success in education, this book is integral because it provides readers with viewpoints from the eyes of the students who make up the category of “low achieving

No matter where you come from, or what you have done, it is still possible to see your dreams through with right amount of help even though you do not realize it at first. Author Bill Pennington formulates about Victor Cruz, who attends the University of Massachusetts in the article, “Defying the Odds.” Cruz was a student who had all the support and help he could get while in college, but he just did not realize it. With him not taking the initiative to use the help he was being offered, his football
