raisin in the sun ☼

I think the play, A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, is pretty interesting. The problems between the family are pretty intense. I wouldn't think a family would have problems over so many things. Such as Walter wanting to keep all of Mama's money for himself or life being bad enough that Ruth has to get an abortion bcause they can't support another child. The character I can really relate myself to would have to Beneatha. Beneatha is an independent woman and isn't ashamed of her culture. I think culture is the most beautiful thing one can have and be proud. Just the same way Beneatha dislikes people who are ashamed of their culture or people who try and be something they are not, I do too. You shouldn't have to hide where you came from, you should be proud of your roots. Beneatha is an independent woman and I wish that when I am older I can be the same way. I don't want to have to depend on someone whenever I need something.
