Can you guess the title and author of the novel depicted in the picture?
DIFFICULTY : Hard
CLUE : Extremely hard to find a picture to describe this play, but it lends itself to "raisin" awareness about a black family living in the Chicago “sun”.
Since I believe this one to be very difficult, here's another little clue:
It is amazing, at times, when literature remains timeless, when it truly captures the substance, or the essence, of a character, a group of people, or even an entire society. This play is a constant reminder our society still has much growing up to do because it exemplifies how black Americans still feel in the cultures and the societies they were thrown into so many years ago. Without making this a race war post or an extended thirty-page essay, I'd like to simply say this: Why do we still label large groups, large groups of anything actually, solely on the actions or beliefs of one individual or entity? When will we be intelligent enough to limit our distaste to the source of our discomfort? It is human to dislike, to hate even, and we have this right to protect ourselves and keep us safe from unwanted advances and situations, but spreading these feelings to innocent parties just does not make sense to me.
