Raisin Notes 3
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Which do you think would be most likely to happen to you if your American dream doesn’t happen?
The Characters
❖ The best playwrights dwell almost exclusively in the land
of indirect characterization. Please write a character profile
based purely off his/her behaviors of the character given to
you. In it, try to infer who the character is, what his/her
key traits are, what drives him/her, and why he/she treats
others the way he/she does.
