Today's let's continue watching the film adaptation of the stage play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry.
As you watch the film, apart from paying attention to the film basics: camera work, sound effects/music, costumes, and lighting--examine how character's motivations and personal goals clash to create conflict in this play. Notice how Hansberry skillfully builds conflict in her story:
HOMEWORK: Read Act 1, Scene 1 of the play. Compare what you saw in the film with the way the play is written. In a paragraph explain how the film and script compare/contrast with one another. Turn in your paragraph next class. We will be spending time working on our portfolios next class.

- Person v. Person
- Person v. self
- Person v. society
- Person v. nature/fate or God
