Raisin In The Sun




In literature, as in life, a character may search for a better way of life.For example Benetha and Walter from A Raisin in the Sun are searching for a better way of life. Benetha is searching for her Identity she wants a better life so she studies and wants to take her studies further to become a doctor. No body except for Mama and Ruth try stopping Benetha from studying, Everybody except Walter Lee he just detests the thought of Benetha going to be a Doctor.

Benetha wants to gain Knowledge but for that she should not give up. Since AsagaiI came to the house he cleared things out and told Benetha that it shows that she was finding her identity by changing her hairstyle. Ever since she has only been caring about how to find her personality

In literature, as in life, a character may search for a better way of life. Another example is Walter Lee from A Raisin in the Sun he is searching for a better way of life. HE wants to open a liquor store he tries convincing Mama to give him the 10,000 dollars but she refuses and he gets awfully mad. He does not want to be a driver. Walter thinks that the world revolves around him and that 3His family is just like how he imagined them. Walter drinks when he gets frustrated.

HE always criticizes Benetha and does not want her to change... In the part where Mama uses the money to buy a house Walter does not seemed interested and yelled because he wanted the money for himself. He seemed very greedy. He attempts to search for that change by acting mad and ignorant thinking that Mama could sell the house and get the money back just to give it to Walter.

In my conclusion I say that Benetha Younger and Walter Lee Younger have trouble searching for a better life because they both have problems and with Benetha, Walter does not let her do anything maybe he does not understand her feelings. Whereas With Walter he just wants stuff he can't have or that other people in the family are bothered about for example the liquor store. Maybe he just wants attention.
