The character that caught my attention the most this episode was Cutty Wise. It was interesting to see him figure out that he does not want to be part of the game anymore. After so many years of rolling with the dealers he could still manage to control himself to not pull the trigger while lined up at the kid. However, the most shocking part was that he could admit that he is not cut out for the game anymore to Avon, and that Avon was cool with it even after how he acted the whole episode.

That is unfortunate, although I completely understand and I'm sure I will have other opportunities. Thank you for thinking of me and taking your own time to follow up on that. It means a lot to me.

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.
