English Literature

The importance of the author of any literary work should always be considered when trying to interpret or analyze the work as it would give a deeper understanding and appreciation for the said literature. In Browns article, he cites why Hansberrys role as the creator of A Raisin in the Sun is important, and this is because Hansberry has had numerous experiences with the Black movement as well as racism, making the whole theme of the play come out more. Brown also further points out that just because it was Hansberry who wrote the play, it does not mean that her personal bias seeped intro the text. Actually, this is far from being the truth as A Raisin the Sun reflects what the people at that time wanted to say but could not. Because of this, this source proves to be valuable in terms of additional information that can be given in terms of Hansberrys reason on the writing of A Raisin in the Sun. Though the source is valuable and useful, it should not be the only source used when attempting to write a critical analysis as it is gives inadequate information regarding the whole background of the aforementioned play.

Gordons article provides the difference in terms of how the play is received and absorbed by the white and black students. As Gordons experience with white students reveals, race plays an important part not only in the daily lives of people but also with the relationship of people and their interactions with them. This article is significant as it would enable readers to see a typical depiction of the influence of race and would allow a close and realistic look of differences of race.

It is known that sometimes, when a writer does a work and that work is turned into a movie or a play, it would substantially be altered to meet the desire of the audience as well as the movie company. In Ingles article, this is exactly what happens as he chronicles the various differences made from the original screenplay of Lorraine Hansberrys A Raisin in the Sun when it was adapted to film by the Columbia film company in the 1960s. This is significant as it presents to the readers a bigger view and perspective of the issue of racism and the power of White Americans at that time to alter so much significant racial themes contained in the original formal of the screenplay.

In this article, Hansberrys life is given a new light as to voice out the reasons for the     creation of her critically-acclaimed play, A Raisin in the Sun. Kodat narrates that     Hansberry has suffered tremendously in the hands of the white racist community at     that time, which gave birth to the inspiration behind the play. The additional     information and knowledge regarding the life of Hansberry is essential to the further     appreciation and understanding of the play since it provides the cause (racism     experienced by the playwright) to Hansberrys effect (the creation of the play, A     Raisin in the Sun).
