A Raisin In the Sun

Walter definitely disgust me in the remainings of the play. His idea of putting an investment into his anticipated co-own liquors store fails. He is a typical loser to me who breaks down because his dream are crushed. As an African American I would have like to seen Walter bounce back, keep his head up, and push even harder to accomplish his dreams of owning a liquor store. Especially within the time setting of the play. During the 1950s an African American would not be able to survive without having a strong foundation for his/herself. Sidney Poitier plays the role of Walter in the video version of A Raisin in the Sun. His acting really drives me to dislike Walters character, because he completely displays Walter as a give up. Walter in my opinion is like a child who throws a fit because he doesn't get his way.
