Answer: A paradox is a statement that contradicts itself, or that must be both true and untrue at the same time. ... But a key part of paradoxes is that they at least sound reasonable. They're not obvious nonsense, and it's only upon consideration that we realize their self-defeating logic. For example: This statement is a lie.

Now that you have completed the reading of Act I and learned a little about how authors use stage directions to develop their ch
Alona [7]

Answer:

A Raisin in the Sun.

Explanation:

In this exercise you have to first have completed the reading of the Act I, and you are ask to apply what you have learned in <em>"A Raisin in the Sun".</em>  You should pay special attention to the characters of this play in order to this exercise. For example, some common descriptions of the characters could be:

- Walter Lee Younger. The protagonist of the play. Walter is a dreamer. He wants to be rich and devises plans to acquire wealth with his friends, particularly Willy Harris.

- Beneatha Younger (“Bennie”). Mama’s daughter and Walter’s sister. Beneatha is an intellectual. Twenty years old, she attends college and is better educated than the rest of the Younger family. She dreams of being a doctor and struggles to determine her identity as a well-educated black woman.

- Lena Younger (“Mama”). Walter and Beneatha’s mother. The matriarch of the family, Mama is religious, moral, and maternal. She wants to use her husband’s insurance money as a down payment on a house with a backyard to fulfill her dream for her family to move up in the world.

- Ruth Younger. Walter’s wife and Travis’s mother. Ruth takes care of the Youngers’ small apartment. Her marriage to Walter has problems, but she hopes to rekindle their love. She is about thirty, but her weariness makes her seem older. Constantly fighting poverty and domestic troubles, she continues to be an emotionally strong woman. Her almost pessimistic pragmatism helps her to survive.

- Travis Younger. Walter and Ruth’s sheltered young son. Travis earns some money by carrying grocery bags and likes to play outside with other neighborhood children, but he has no bedroom and sleeps on the living-room sofa.

- Joseph Asagai. A Nigerian student in love with Beneatha. Asagai, as he is often called, is very proud of his African heritage, and Beneatha hopes to learn about her African heritage from him. He eventually proposes marriage to Beneatha and hopes she will return to Nigeria with him.

- George Murchison. A wealthy, African-American man who courts Beneatha. The Youngers approve of George, but Beneatha dislikes his willingness to submit to white culture and forget his African heritage. He challenges the thoughts and feelings of other black people through his arrogance and flair for intellectual competition.

- Mr. Karl Lindner. The only white character in the play. Mr. Lindner arrives at the Youngers’ apartment from the Clybourne Park Improvement Association. He offers the Youngers a deal to reconsider moving into his (all-white) neighborhood.

- Bobo. One of Walter’s partners in the liquor store plan. Bobo appears to be as mentally slow as his name indicates.

- Willy Harris. A friend of Walter and coordinator of the liquor store plan. Willy never appears onstage, which helps keep the focus of the story on the dynamics of the Younger family.

- Mrs. Johnson. The Youngers’ neighbor. Mrs. Johnson takes advantage of the Youngers’ hospitality and warns them about moving into a predominately white neighborhood.

svp [43]

Answer:

Small children often understand nature, animals, and feelings better than an adult who may be used to receiving criticism and back talk. A sixth grader is more sensitive to these words. They can better help each other, rather than seeking an adult for help.
