5. Taking Your Quotes and Creating Quote Sandwiches
THEME: One should always fight against racial discrimination.
Layer 1 (Bread) = CONTEXT
EXAMPLE: In Act II, the reader finds that Mama has put a down payment on a house in a white neighborhood, despite the racism that exists in the area. When informing her family of her decision, Mama says,
Layer 2 (Meat/Cheese) = QUOTE
EXAMPLE: “Them houses they put up for colored in them areas way out all seem to cost twice as much as other houses. I did the best I could” (Hansberry 77). Notice the citation
Layer 3 (Bread) = ANALYSIS
EXAMPLE: According to Mama, houses in minority neighborhoods tend to cost even more money, and are “way out” there, away from the Youngers’ current apartment. Therefore, Mama takes a stand against discrimination, teaching her family to do the same, by purchasing the house in the white neighborhood.
