A RAISIN IN THE SUN

A Raisin in the Sun is a dramatic play that really grasps the harsh reality of a lower class minority family struggling to get ahead. Each individual family member wants to get ahead in their own way. The father thinks big and wants to leap into the race of power and authority. Even though the sister thinks things through intellectually she is, at the end, unsure in which direction she should go. The wife wants the baby but at the same time wants to be more realistic and not have the baby. The only adult in the family that seems to know what she wants is the grandmother and that she does for the sake of the family.
