A Raisin in the Sun
1.
Each of the characters in the Younger family has a particular individual dream. One
wants to move to a bigger home, one wants to attend medical school, and one wants to
rise above his conditions though does not necessarily have a plan to do so. Write an
essay in which you compare and contrast the functions of dreams in A Raisin in the
Sun. Consider whether there was a way to make each individual dream compatible with
others’ dreams. If so, explain why the characters did not identify this alternative. Use
examples from the texts along with 2 outside sources to support your thesis.
2.
As we discussed in class, it can be said that each of the three female characters (Beneatha,
Ruth and Mama) represent three women at different spectrums of their lives. Explain how they
differ by finding examples in the text. Use examples from the texts along with 2 outside sources to
support your thesis.
