PURPOSE What are you accomplishing in this section? Explaining how your character’s experiences in the history or culture of your novel caused her/him to learn a lesson. Example: Walter’s experience of racism and segregation caused him to learn that family can get him through difficult times.

Consult your research. --Find information to support theme from intro. --Determine paraphrases and direct quotations. 4. WRITE YOUR PAPER.

STEP ONE CONSULT YOUR INTRO: FOCUS ON THEME A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry is a reflection of 1950’s America by showing how the racism and segregation of that time period put strain on a poor African American family. Walter Lee Younger is driven to try to drink away his frustration with the racist attitudes of people like Karl Lindner. Through it all though, Walter learns that strong family bonds can get one through difficult times.

A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry is a reflection of 1950’s America by showing how the racism and segregation of that time period put strain on a poor African American family. Walter Lee Younger is driven to try to drink away his frustration with the racist attitudes of people like Karl Lindner.

STEP FOUR BEGIN WRITING YOUR THEME SECTION: 1.Topic sentence identifying theme and how character learns it. 2.Supporting details including quotations and paraphrases from novel and research. 3.Explain how those details support the point you made in your topic sentence.
