Jonas, Lina, and Doon all posses the stereotypical traits of a hero. They are intelligent, courageous, and caring but they also have individual traits that led them to their success. These traits are solidified by their actions, words and thoughts throughout the story. Doon was serious and passionate, which came off as rude to some, but helped him and lina find their way out of Ember. He displays this trait in his frequent outbursts, such as his first on page thirteen, when he shouts to his class, “‘But Ember is not prospering’...’Everything is getting worse and worse.’”.Another trait of his is trust, as he never doubts for one second lina’s actions and words, but instead goes along with them. This is shown on page 112 , where Lina realizes

In A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, the Younger family is trying to achieve the American Dream, which is “the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American”(cite dictionary.com). The Youngers are a black family living in a poor part of Chicago. They inherit ten thousand dollars because Mama’s husband died. Mama is the matriarch of the Younger family. Each family member has their own idea about how to use this money to fulfill their dreams, and the play uses the decisions of the family members and other characters to show the reader that people’s actions are not always motivated by what they appear to be. Mama wants to use the money to buy a house in a white neighborhood, because she thinks it is a better environment for her family than their current living conditions and will benefit her family. Although there are a number of people in A Raisin in the Sun who appear too want to help the Younger family, Mama shows through her decision to buy the house that she is the only person that is looking out for the best interests of her family.
