Act 2, Scene 2--Please turn in the following answer on a slip of paper on your way out the door today (20 pts.)

We read in the introduction to the play that the scene with Mrs. Johnson was cut at one point and restored in this version. The author states that when it has been used it "has worked to solid--often--hilarious--effect. Also, "because it speaks to the fundamental issues of the play, makes plain the reality that waits the Youngers at the curtain," etc. (11).

Please write what is in red below at the top of a sheet of paper that you can hand in today:

Exit Visa Mrs. Johnson:  
Explain to the best of your ability what the scene with Mrs. Johnson adds to the play. Here are some ideas:
*What do you learn?
* How does it change your perception of any of the characters (Mama)?
* Does it add humor? *How do you think she feels about the Youngers? 
*Would you have missed this scene if it was gone? Why or why not? 

1-2 paragraphs including at least 2 examples of textual evidence. (not a Quick Write, no specific format needed--maybe RACE).

Agenda:
*Let's begin by catching up with the questions for 2.1 in the study guide
*Then we will begin reading 2.2  (we will watch it if there is time)
*This should leave you time to complete your exit visa and turn it in on your way out.
