Intoduction: -is already done and revised!-
"To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else" is a quote by Brenadette Delvin which means that in order to gain certain things in life, sometimes sacrifices will have to be made. I agree with this quote because personally I had to make sacrifices in order to gain other things that were for my own benefit. A similar scenario is placed with Harriet Jacobs in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl when she had to sacrifice her family life to gain freedom even when there were conflicts, especially because of her antagonist. Lorraine Hansberry portrayed a similar situation in A Raisin in the Sun through the point of view that the book was written in and the exposition that was placed when the Younger family had to sacrifice their comfort to gain a better life despite the fact that this family would have to receive racial comments in their new neighborhood.

Body1: Discussion of INLSG
-how Harriet Jacobs exposes conflicts as no obstacle when Linda Brent makes the appropriate sacrifices 'to gain what is worth'
-e.g. how hard it is to get the north
-how Harriet Jacobs tells how Linda had to face one antagonist indirectly and make sacrifices to gain her freedom
-e.g. Dr. Flint making her life miserable

Body2: Discussion of A Raisin in the Sun
-how Lorraine Hansberry's writing in point of view tells how important it became for the Younger family to make sacrifices to gain a better life
-from the African American family point of view, who had to face segregation
-how Lorraine Hansberry points out the importance of the exposition, involving even larger and harder sacrifices to be made
-e.g. in the 1960s, civil right movement inspires and affects how this family was willing to do whatever was necessary

Body3: Comparing and Contrasting
-explaining how different authors had the same central idea that Bernadette Devlin had but used different literary elements
-restate quote and apply

Conclusion:Briefly summarize
-state the point of the quote
-2 authors, same idea
-quick overview of idea
