A Research paper about literature/drama, APA style . I wrote the introduction and started with the discussion. I started writing a description of one of the characters to my instructor and that’s what she told me, “We are handling a certain idea/ theme in the play so we have to trace its development throughout the play. The characters are, of course, part the development of this theme; however, while tracing the theme we don’t usually list the characters descriptions one by one. You can incorporate the descriptions while talking about your theme in a way that shows how these characters are involved in achieving Mama’s dream. I suggest you keep the description of Mama’s character where it’s now and move into analyzing her dream and give quotes from the text of the play where she actually expresses her opinion & feelings toward securing a new home for her family & the decision of moving in to all white neighborhood. Then you move into showing the reaction of the other characters to her decision and consequently the conflicts that arise among the members of the Youngers.”
I hope that you can write my paper following these instructions
This is the description i wrote her (The most important character in the play and the female-ruler of the Younger family, Lena, commonly referred to as “Mama,” is Walter Lee and Beneatha’s mother and Travis’ grandmother. Mama takes great care of her family and she even works as a maid to assist them. A devout Christian, Lena is a woman of old fashioned values who dreams of purchasing a house for her family. “As time passed, Mama’s dream of a house dwindled away into an unlikely hope” (The Art of Social Criticism: Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, n.d.). The promise of $10,000 is represented as the sunlight that gives a sense of possibility. The irony for Mama was that the chance to fulfil her dream came through the death of her husband.)
