In one well-written paragraph (or more) of 150 words or more, discuss one literary device demonstrated in Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun.  You may create your own thesis or use one of the examples below. Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun (choose one) In the play A Raisin in the Sun, Lorraine Hansberry uses the characterization of Walter to show that a discontented individual is often unable to take ownership of his life until he realizes that he must set a good example for his children.

Extra extra credit (1 point) If you have are aware of any crimes where an adolescent was accused/convicted (like the examples we discussed in class) that you think would be good examples for me to use in this class in the future, please let me know about them below! If you don’t know the people’s names or anything you can say “a kid in my hometown of Katy, TX did X around five years ago” or “I listened to a podcast where X happened” or “I think it would be interesting to learn about someone who did X crime as a teenager.” It’s most helpful for me if you give me enough specifics that I can look it up, but I’ll award the extra point for effort 🙂
