Answer:
How does the dream of every member of the Younger family differ and agree with one another?
This story is from the play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. The story is about an insurance check that the Younger family received amounting to $10,000 which was from the late Mr. Younger. A very huge amount of money for the family as it was set after the World War II.
DIFFERENCES
- Even though as a family, the Younger family members had different dreams and different desires over the insurance money. Below are their dreams:
- 1. MOM - Mr. Younger's widow wanted to buy them a house. It's her and Mr. Younger's dream house.
- 2. WALTER - the only son of the Younger family. Walter wanted to use the insurance money to invest them in a liquor store together with his friends.
- 3. BENETHEA - the only daughter of the Younger's. She wanted to use the money for her medical school tuition which will eventually lead their family to financial stability in the future.
- 4. RUTH - Walter's wife. Ruth wanted the same with their Mom but her only request is that their son has a bigger space in the new house.
SIMILARITIES
- The Younger family may have different dreams but what they had in common and something that they agree with each other is their end goal - financial stability.
- Since the play was set after the World War II, the family experienced such a difficult time. Not only that, the family was also under another challenge which was racism which was heavily shown when they planned to move in the area which was lived in by whites.
