Reviewing Quote Sandwich for Stage 1 Packet Completion

3. Stage 1 Packet
Select one theme that we have created as a class. Jot it down on the top of page called “Quotation Worksheet”.
Your next step is to locate four pieces of textual evidence (quotes) from Raisin. Just like in your thematic analysis essays you’ve been doing all year, think of four examples that reveal that theme within the text.
Write the direct quote with page number in the middle column (even though it says Summarize Quote, you will copy it down directly here). Then, take a few notes on how it helps demonstrate your theme.
**You should have selected a theme and found two quotes for homework. Use this class time to find your second two quotes (for a total of 4 Raisin quotes).**

4. 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.
