Prompt: How does this song both celebrate and question the American Dream? What details from the chorus/context support your reasoning?
Entry #5: Prompt Response to A Raisin in the Sun: Part 1 or Death of a Salesman: Part 1
A Raisin in the Sun
Hansberry
Act I, sc. i (pp. 23- 53)
PROMPT: Describe the "morning ritual" in the Younger household. How do the physical constraints of the apartment (the shared bathroom, the makeshift bed in the living room) mirror the internal frustrations of Walter Lee and Ruth?
Death of a Salesman
Miller
Act I, sc. i (pp. 1 – 19)
PROMPT: Willy’s opening lines establish his physical and mental state. Find a line in this section of the play where Willy describes his "tiredness." Explain how Dustin Hoffman’s physical movements (his walk, how he carries his sample cases) illustrate that specific line. Does he look like the "great salesman" he claims to be? Why/why not?
Entry #6: Prompt Response to A Raisin in the Sun: Part 2 or Death of a Salesman : Part 2.
Entry #6
A Raisin in the Sun
Hansberry
Act I, sc. ii (pp. 54-75)
PROMPT: How are Mama’s plans for the $10,000 insurance check different from Walter’s plans and Beneatha’s plans? To support your claim, include a passage from this part of the play in your prompt response.
Entry #6
Death of a Salesman
Miller
Act I (pp. 20 -51)
PROMPT: In a flashback to when his sons were in high school, Willy gives his sons advice on success. Find a line where Willy equates being "well-liked" with financial success. Compare that line to the way the younger Biff and Happy look at their father in the film. How does their body language show they are "buying into" his delusion?
Entry #7: Prompt Response to A Raisin in the Sun: Part 3 or Death of a Salesman : Part 3.
Entry #7
A Raisin in the Sun
Hansberry
Act II, sc. i & sc. ii (pp. 76-109)
PROMPT: Why did Mama ultimately give Walter Lee the remaining $6500- is it a gesture of trust, or a desperate attempt by Mama to save her son’s soul? To support your claim, include a passage from this part of the play in your prompt response.
Entry #7
Death of a Salesman
Miller
Act II (pp. 52 -69)
PROMPT: During the scene with Howard and the tape recorder, find the line where Howard tells Willy, "Business is business." Analyze why this phrase is so devastating to Willy. Based on the performance, how does the actor playing Howard show a complete lack of empathy for Willy’s "thirty-four years" with the company?
Entry #8: Prompt Response to A Raisin in the Sun: Part 4 or Death of a Salesman : Part 4.
Entry #8
A Raisin in the Sun
Hansberry
Act II, sc. iiii (pp. 110 - 130 )
PROMPT: Which hurts the Younger family’s spirit more - the "polite" racism of Mr. Lindner, or the betrayal of Walter’s friend Willy Harris? To support your claim, include a passage from this part of the play in your prompt response.
Entry #8
Death of a Salesman
Miller
Act II (pp. 69 - 109)
PROMPT: In their final confrontation, Biff shouts, "I am not a leader of men, Willy, and neither are you." Is it an insult, or is Biff trying to set them both free? To support your claim, include a passage from this part of the play in your prompt response.
Entry #9: Prompt Response to A Raisin in the Sun: Part 5 or Death of a Salesman : Part 5.
Entry #9
A Raisin in the Sun
Hansberry
Act II, sc. iiii (pp. 131 - 151 )
PROMPT: In Walter Lee’s final confrontation with Lindner, what does he decide and how does the presence of his son, Travis, influence his decision? To support your claim, include a passage from this part of the play in your prompt response.
Entry #9
Death of a Salesman
Miller
Requiem (pp. 110 - 112)
PROMPT: What is a requiem and how is that an appropriate name for this scene? To support your claim, include a passage from this part of the play in your prompt response.
