Here is the prompt for Bb #3.
A Raisin in the Sun premiered in 1959. Zoot Suit premiered twenty years later in 1979, after the civil rights movement. Each play addresses issues of racism in the United States. Compare and contrast the tone of each play. (ignore the desire under the elms file, i couldnt delete it)
In relation to racism. What differences do you notice, and what does that tell you about the ongoing evolution of American theatre?
Plays are works of literature. “Literary tone” refers to the attitude(s) the playwright (author) adopts toward the subject matter of his or her work, and toward the anticipated audience.
