A Raisin in the Sun
In A Raisin In The Sun an interesting story of a family's ups and downs unfolds in a small apartment. This book by Lorraine Hansberry illustrates how a family's dreams can dry up just like a raisin in the sun. The family, the Youngers are a family of five living in a two-bedroom apartment. Their main conflict is that Lena is receiving a 10,000-dollar check from the insurance company for the death of her husband and they each have plans for the money. Berneatha, Lena's daughter, wants to go to medical school. Walter, Lena's son, wants to open a liquor store. Ruth, Walters's wife, and Lena want to buy a house. Through this story you will uncover a world of differences in one family's struggle to stay together. Scene One: In the beginning of this scene we are introduced to Ruth and Walter. Ruth is tired which has inadvertently caused her to be grumpy. Her attitude toward everything is negative. Walter on the other hand is in a good mood. Then Travis their son comes in asking for 50 cents. Ruth tells him they don't have enough. Walter gives him two fifty-cent pieces. This of course causes an argument between the two of them. This is when Berneatha enters. Berneatha is Walter's sister. She is very sa
This is news to Ruth who gets very mad. They are interrupted by a knock on the door. The man says he is with the Clybourne park improvement association. Act TwoScene One: In scene one we find out that Mama went out and bought a house with the money. Then mama comes in and finds out that not has he lost all of his own money he lost Berneatha's schooling money too. Towards the end of scene two we find out that Asagai is in love with Berneatha but Berneatha thinks they need more time to find out if they really are in love. Arnold, the wife of the man Walter works for, calls. He doesn't think that she should be a doctor. Scene Two: In this scene we see a drastic difference in the family's attitude. She doesn't say yes but later she tells mama and she seems like she wants to go. She paid 35 hundred on the house so there was only 65 hundred left. She says that picking on her is not going to make Mama (Lena) give it to Walter to invest in any liquor stores. While Berneatha is in the bathroom Mama tells Ruth that she doesn't want to give Walter the money because she doesn't want to have any part in getting people drunk.
