Raisin In The Sun Light

The visual’s background is formed by a dark and starry night sky; stretching across the image and transitioning into a sunny day sky. This is a representation of the passage of time, life, death, and the power of memories. The nighttime depicts ageing and adulthood, whereas the daytime represents youth and life. In the poem, the narrator describes the sky, ‘Ambiguous night, ambiguous sky,’ which is symbolic for the transience between adulthood and childhood. An ambiguous sky is a sky which is unclear or undecided. The faded transition from the night sky to the day sky reflects this notion and the uncertainty of memories; displaying how the poem

"Although there was evening brightness showing through the windows of the bunkhouse, inside it was dust". This shows that the light tries to get in but never manages to penetrate the darkness. This is important to the themes of the story because workers' hope for a future farm is just like the light while the cruel reality is like the darkness. Their efforts to realize this plan is just like the light trying to penetrate the darkness, but their dream

Welcome to the Windham High school drama club revival of A Raisin in the Sun!

The story of this play is simple and the majority of African-Americans faced such issues in the 1950’s, living on the south side of Chicago, struggles with poverty, dignity and dreams of a better life. Wanting better for your children and trying to fit in, while maintaining family values. A Raisin in the Sun is an excellent example of the relationship between family values and conflict. In this play it portrays: values and purpose of dreams, the need to fight for racial discrimination and the importance of family.

A Raisin in the Sun interwinds with the issues that were presented during 1950s-60s. At the beginning of World War I, a vast majority of blacks lived in the south. Poor living conditions drove them to Chicago as a place to move in hopes of finding a more substantial job. Due to rapidly growing population of Chicago's south side it soon became overcrowded and it became difficult to find a place to live. The city came up with public housing projects to provide low-income housing to people in the ghettos. Around this time period racially restricted covenants -contracts agreeing to prohibit the purchase, lease, or occupation of a piece of property by a particular group of people, usually African Americans- arouse. The practice was so omnipresent

In the drama play A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry the younger family received a 10,000 dollar life insurance check for mamas husband. Mama gave a portion of this money to Walter Lee,her son, and trusted him with it. Walter Lee who was wanting to spend the money to invest in a liquor store, but lost the money to Willy Harris they then realize that their dream may be dead. At this point they need hope and in this play it symbolises a lot of with the specific like a specific object (Mamas plant) or a general object (money). She sometimes even uses symbols through people (Beneatha) to get certain points across. The author is clever with using these symbolisms representing current problems, issues, or events.

Whenever the powers go out during a storm, the Wi-Fi also does not work. Our power at my house went out for some reason. I could not finish my homework without the Wi-Fi because I was doing it on my laptop.

Walter is sitting at the table when his father asks him to pull down his pants. And now, all hope is gone. Dad asks him what’s wrong with him. And Walter says nothing. It was clear something was wrong that he didn’t want to expose himself. So finally dad commands him to pull down his pants, and it was absolutely horrible. He had dry blood, bruises, and massive swelling. I was so ready to give him a beating. So daddy does the job of asking what’s wrong. You will not believe this he says,”Momma beat me.” Then daddy starts getting extremely mad at me for something I didn’t even do! So I get up and take Walter to his room and ask him why did you say that I beat you. He never responded. So I hit him once, no response. Hit him twice, no response.

This material will provide an over view of the story “Raisin in the Sun”. The material will detail the deferent characters in the story. This story touches multiples views of the life of race.

Because of the significance of the story’s message, I can say that the evidence is relevant to every struggling couple to educate and caution of the inevitable consequences of domestic conflicts. The Author is suggesting to the readers via symbolism, of a once healthy relationship between the couple has been blighted somehow. as we can see from the author’s apparent use of lighting that plays a significant part in the setting of this story.

An hour after the moving van parked in the driveway of 406 Clybourne street in Clybourne Park the younger family waved at the van when it slowly moved away and they went inside when the van was out of view. The family worked together to put away their belongings and they stood hand and hand and they took a breath of fresh air. Beneatha went first to her room to put away her stuff then Ruth and Walter went next and Travis left to go hunt for his new room. They all left until Mama was left there alone looking out the big window. Mama gingerly stepped to the window and put her plant down smiling in thought. When the door bell rung she jumped and went to the door. At the door was a white woman and when the door opened and saw mama she flinched and said “Hello, I’m your neighbor it’s nice to meet you.” She said “I’m Susan it’s nice to meet you.” She said this slowly, deliberately like she’s talking to a foreign person and Susan put out her hand and mama did not reach for it her face was just a blank stare. Then after a while mama stammered “h-hello I’m Lena Younger its very nice to meet you.” And she reached out and shook Susan’s hand and Susan quickly took it away. Then she said “Well I just came to say,” Susan took mama’s shirt and pulled her face so close to mama’s that their noses were touching. “stay out of our way, we will stay out of your way if you stay out of ours.” She shoved mama into their brand new house and slammed the door so hard that

My group for the project on A Raisin In The Sun, consisted of Mollie, our director, Avery, who played the role of Beneath, Isabel, who played the role of Travis, Dana, who played the role of walter, and myself, I was the prop director. When we first sat down to decide upon a scene it took a little while because we needed to find a scene that would be suitable for our group's size and it also needed to be a fair amount of lines for each actor. I was the one that suggested that we did the very first scene where they are waiting to use the restroom and Travis is asking for money for school I suggested this scene because when i read over it, it seemed as if it would be a great scene for our group to do. We all ended up agreeing to do that scene.

Lorraine’s experience of her family moving to a white neighborhood and being attacked by their white neighbors are reflected in A Raisin in the Sun. In the story, the Mama is patiently waiting for a life insurance check for $10,000 due to the death of Beneatha and Walters father. They decide to get a new house, and Mama puts down money on a place in a white neighborhood, because it is much cheaper. The rest of the money is later given to Walter in order to invest, but $3,000 is set aside for Beneatha’s education. Willy is then given the money, however he takes off with the money, leaving Walter and Beneatha no hope of now achieving their dreams.

Decades before oppression raised its heavy weight from African-Americans shoulders, Langston Hughes wrote, “Today like yesterday / Tomorrow like today / The drip, drip, drip, / Of monotony / Is wearing my life away;” (Hughes, 31) a sentiment that rang true in the hearts of many weary, beaten down souls across the nation. Shortly after the breath of true freedom found its way into the African-Americans of our country through perseverance and bravery, a young writer wrote “A Raisin in the Sun” chronicling the experiences of everyday life in an African-American home. The characters include Mama, the grandmother figure, Beneatha, the college student searching for her identity, Walter, a man constantly trying for more, Ruth, his tired wife, and their son, Travis. The family is anxiously and enthusiastically waiting for an insurance check they’re sure will turn their lives around. It went on to be one of the most influential works of its time, being the first major Broadway play written by an African-American woman and won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. Lorraine Hansberry was a gifted writer in a troubling time period; still recovering from the fresh wounds of the civil rights movement. In her groundbreaking play, she shows the struggle many African-Americans faced while learning how to push past stereotypes and make their own way in life. Throughout “A Raisin in the Sun”, Hansberry uses eggs and hyperboles to show the
