AA propposal

The author I chose to read was Lorraine Hansberry. I have seen movies based on Raisin in the Sun, and I thought that they were very good. But like most other literature based movies, the book (or play in this case) is always better than the movies. And this doesn’t necessarily mean that the movies are bad, people just like reading them better. And I think one reason for that is that movies, in a way, force the picture in your mind. When you read a book you can visualize your own image. Usually, only to a certain extent, though. The book may give details about the appearance of someone. However, plays do not do this as much. When plays are performed, many times the characters and change their outfits or appearance every show if they wanted to. Plays, I think, are more interesting than novels. Plays have much more dialogue and monologues than novels, which, means plays will probably have less narration. I’d rather read more dialogue than have someone tell me what’s happening the whole time. But then again that is just me. So basically, I chose Lorraine Hansberry because I’d like to read more of her plays.
