Drama Paragraph

Based on the drama A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry 

The Assigned Topic:

• Write a paragraph of 200-250 words.
• In  the upper left-hand corner of your paragraph, include your name,  followed by my name (Mr. Leonard), the name of the class (ENC  1102-31843), and the due date of the paragraph.
• Give your paragraph a title.
• Double-space the contents of your paragraph.
• Select a character from the drama, and write a paragraph in which you (1) follow the  components of effective writing; (2) identify a personality trait  relating to the chosen character; (3) explain how that trait relates to  that character; (4) include accurate and relevant quotations from the  drama and/or some other source such as a database; (5) provide at least  one MLA parenthetical reference where necessary; and (6) include at  least one MLA works cited entry after the paragraph.

Idea for Organization of the Paragraph’s Contents:

• Consider organizing the contents of your paragraph this way: The  character of _____ is mawkish.  For example, at the end of the first  act, he . . . .  Then, at the beginning of the second act, he . . . .   Finally, near the end of the drama, he . . . . 
• You are not required to use this organizational sequence; it is only a suggestion.
