I am required to shoot and upload a 4-5 mins video review of Baraka's play Dutchman. So I need you to help me prepare a speech. Please try to write a speech of about 4-5 pages in oral form. The review has a specific question you must answer and you will be required to draw from a number of outside sources which you will read in the next files I uploaded.

Below is a list of the criteria for the video review as well as the question you must answer. What is listed below will be the basis for the grading rubric for this assignment:

• The question to answer in your video review is, "What does Baraka’s play, Dutchman, reflect about what was happening in the year of 1964?"

• Give an overall summary of the plot of Dutchman and an overall summary of the 1960s.

• When you do your close analysis of the play, you must draw from at least 3 of the 4 sources you've read about the year 1964 (the sources are available in the next file I uploaded).

• In the video, you must draw a clear and direct connection between the play and what you've learned about 1964. This means you will reference specific quotes from the play and explain how they relate to a point made in each of the articles you read in 1964.

• The literary element of focus will be Character, in this case the characters of Clay and Lula . Your analysis should focus on how their interaction reflects things happening in 1964 (NOTE: Avoid simplistic analytical statements like, "Clay represents Black America" and "Lula represents White America". Clay and Lula are CHARACTERS and your analysis should focus on what they say, what they do, and the way they behave towards each other).

The parameters for the assignment are as follows:

• The video should be 4-5 minutes long

• The video should be done in a conversational manner, as though you were talking to colleague. One thing that will help is to think of yourself addressing an audience of people who haven't read the play or know very much about the year 1964. The only thing that you will be allowed to read verbatim are the quotes you use (you can have notes while giving your review, but do not read from them verbatim).
