Lorraine Hansberry's lesbianism is one of my favorite pieces of Black literary history.

High School Lit Tournament Round 3

The Great Gatsby: The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.

A Raisin in the Sun: Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning drama about the hopes and aspirations of a struggling, working-class family living on the South Side of Chicago connected profoundly with the psyche of Black America—and changed American theater forever. The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem "Harlem," which warns that a dream deferred might "dry up/like a raisin in the sun."

A Raisin in the Sun: We meet the Younger family the day before they are getting a $10,000 insurance check from the death of the father, Walter Younger. Different members of the family have different ideas of how to use the money. Tensions increase as each member of the family tries to get their own way, eventually threatening to break apart their foundation completely. The stakes continue to climb as questions about identity, class, value, race, and love become forefront issues, and outsiders to the family make it impossible to forget the world that the Younger family cannot seem to escape.

Peter and the Starcatcher: A young orphan named Boy and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island. They know nothing of the trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains an otherworldly cargo. Aboard the Neverland, the boys are discovered by a young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure. As they head for a faraway land, Molly and Boy learn about love & friendship and forge an unbreakable bond.

Propaganda under the cut!

A Raisin in the Sun:

"i had to read this for school" well yeah and it went hard. so. 

I just aughghhh oughhhhhh aaaaauuuuuuufhfh the talk of dreams and how the characters match up to certain lines of the Langston Hughes poem,,,,, and the interesting family dynamics that arise from the Younger family’s situation,,,,,,,

It’s a classic for a reason! A truly groundbreaking play

Peter and the Starcatcher: 

hands down best adaptation of the peter pan stories ever

this is literally the most heartwarming and heartbreaking play i have ever witnessed. its about the origins of peter pan. its insanely funny. its so sad. its about friendship and family and maturity and growing up. i cried so hard. the line "it has to hurt - thats how you know it meant something" has really stuck with me. 

play of all time forever. silly goofy for like 90% of it and then goes and makes you cry in the last scene. the protagonists are all thirteen and it fucking shows (positive). the villain is captain hook minus the hook and one million times more queercoded. the other "villain" is a small italian man living on an island nowhere near italy. the other other villain fails to flirt with a girl and then dies because he gets a cat thrown in his face. the word "dyke" is in the script. christian borle was in it can we get the christian borle girlies in on this please. i still have a worm in my bag from the production i did. this show is my best friend forever

All right, you guys are coming with me on my journey to write my final essay of the year, so I can hold myself accountable.

I started with my introduction done, topic sentences for each of my four body paragraphs done, and then 15 notes for each body paragraph done. My plan is to select 3 notes from each of the 15 and then write roughly 100 words on each point, since each body paragraph needs to be at least 336 words to meet the minimum word count for the essay. In between each paragraph, I will be taking a quick break to watch a bit of a TV episode, maybe read a short fic, so I don't burn myself out and can actually produce competent work. I just finished my first body paragraph, and it is 422 words. Time for the first break
