5/7/14 Raisin in the Sun A II: sc1
Summary: This scene starts when Walter returns home drunk, and he and his sister have this big dramatic thing. I dont know what it was. Mama returns home after george and Bennie leave, and she tells the good news: she has bought a new, bigger house in a better area.
Quote: “... So you butchered up a dream of mine-you- who always talking ‘bout your childrens dreams…”
Sig of Quote: Though it is a great thing, that Mama bought her family a better home, it is a little unfair that she didnt tell anyone what she was up to. Walter probobaly had a great idea about his liquor store, but his Mama didnt really give it a chance.
Reflection: Mama did a great thing for her family. Buying them a home, it resolves many problems. However, she also created a number of problems too. Moving into a neighborhood where no colored people live, it will bring trouble. Travis and his coming sibling will have a lot of bullying in that area. Also, Walter and Bennie will be devastated that they didnt get a chance to live out theiri dreams. Now their dreams will shrivel up like a raisin in the sun, and Ruths and Mamas will actually happen.
Question: What will Bennie have to say about this?
