A Raisin in the Sun
~ sequel by Vasile Garbulet ~
-Well Mr. and Ms. Kelly, this is the house. It has three bedrooms, a large kitchen, a living room with chimney and a beautiful backyard with lots of flowers.
-Indeed Mr. Younger, this is a beautiful house, but tell us more about it. You said you’re the son of its previous owner. And did you live here for the last ten years?
-Yes. My grandmother paid ten years ago a down payment towards the house. I was only ten, but I still remember the day when we moved in. We were all very excited with our new home and each one of us had his own thoughts about the future. Of course mine were connected only to the present. I could not imagine how things will turn up and the impact this house will have on our lives. I was only glad to have my own room and not to sleep on a couch anymore. I was also very glad to have a backyard where to play with my buddies, Jimmy and Paul. But our excitement was soon over. On the first night after we moved in, we were awakened by a terrible scream that was coming from my grandma’s room. I remember how I jumped out of my bed and ran to see what was happening. My grandma’s room was facing the front lawn where a huge white cross was burning. I could not understand what was the meaning of it but I was very scared and I saw the same fear in my grandma’s eyes, while on my father’s face was only anger and disgust. That was only the beginning. Although the malefactors were found and arrested, we were never left alone. One by one, they took my family out of this neighborhood; dead or alive. First was my aunt, Beneatha. It appears that our neighbor, Mr. Miller was good friend with Mr. Loudon, who was the dean of the Medical Institute of Chicago. He was also Beneatha’s professor of chemistry and anatomy. One day she was summoned in Mr. Loudon’s office and she was told she had to convince her family to sell the house in Clybourne Park

    The way McAvoy writes, her sentences are short and to the point, yet intriguing enough to detail as to what had happened. In her writing, she uses many contractions and abbreviations, also resembling the shortness of her writing style. However, despite the length of the sentences, McAvoy does a phenomenal job on getting the point across and making this article interesting for whoever reads it. The article can be used as a reliable resource for one who is looking into digging deeper into the truth behind the paranormal. She provides stories on five different aspects she has encountered through the house to show more knowledge of what she can provide behind each story, making each one credible. McAvoy lays the stories out like a timeline, writing from the first of the experiences to one of the last before the family had put the house up for…

    The American Dream mean so much too so many but in very different ways. If you surveyed individuals to get a definition of the American Dream, I’m certain that the answers would be very diverse. This I attribute to the Dream being an individual thing and not one that can be defined by all individuals in the same manner. In this paper I orchestrate to show the dreams of several characters as described in two works, A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and Dreamer by Charles Johnson. In both of these works, albeit the dreams were different for these characters initially, the cessation result was for the same purposes. Those purposes being unity, prosperity, and serenity.…

    Lorraine Vivian Hansberry was born May 19, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois the youngest by seven years, of four children. Her father, Carl A. Hansberry, is a successful real estate broker, and a civil right activist. Her mother, Nannie Perry, is a schoolteacher who entered politics and became a ward committee woman. When Lorraine was eight, her parents moved to a white neighborhood where the experiences of discrimination led to a civil rights suit that they won. The granddaughter of a freed slave and deeply committed to the Black struggle for equality and human rights, Lorraine Hansberry became a spokesperson for black Americans. Her writings reflect her fight for black civil rights, which is reflected by her views against racism and sexual and statutory discrimination. A Raisin in the Sun was first produced in 1959. The play personified many of the issues which were to divide American culture during the decade of the 1960s. Lorraine Hansberry, the playwright, was an unknown dramatist until she achieved unprecedented success when her play became a Broadway sensation. Not only were successful women playwrights rare at the time, but successful young black women playwrights were virtually unheard of. Within its context, the success of A Raisin in the Sun is particularly stunning. She used plot characters and setting to embody the struggles Blacks had to overcome while facing discrimination and an underlying desire to succeed beyond conception. The play occurs during the late 1950s, a time when many Americans were prosperous and when some racial questions were beginning to be raised, but before the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs is an excellent theory to analyze A Raisin in the Sun since needs and wants are the basics to human survival. Its core is that of humankind equality which crosses geographic, racial, gender, social, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The situational setting of A Raisin in the Sun makes Maslow’s theory of Hierarchy of…

    Inside, the living room is exquisite with fully restored oak floors, and bay windows. He shows me around the two bedrooms and marbled tiled bathrooms.

    Lorraine Hansberry, the author of A Raisin in the Sun, supports the theme of her play from a montage of, A Dream Deferred, by Langston Hughes. Hughes asks, "What happens to a dream deferred?" He suggests many alternatives to answering the question. That it might "dry up like a raisin in the sun," or "fester like a sore." Yet the play maybe more closely related to Hughes final question of the poem, "Or does it explode?" The play is full of bombs that are explosions of emotion set off by the frustration of the Younger family, who are unable to grasp the possible reality of their dreams. The family shares the dream of having a better life but compete against each other for the insurance money given to Mama after her husband's death. The son of Mama, Walter, dreams of being a rich black man by investing the money in a liquor store. His sister, Beneatha, wants to use the money to finish school, so she can pursue her life as a doctor. Mama would rather use the money to buy a home and leave their run down house in the ghetto. Their frustration is obtained from their dreams being deferred and the emotions burst like an exploding time bomb.…

    That was when I turned and actually looked toward the house; its impressive beauty left me momentarily breathless. It looked as though it had sat there a hundred years, as the bayou grew up around it. It was three-storied tall and huge, much larger than my father’s home was. The whitewashed cedar boards glistened in the morning sunlight and the two-dozen tall columns that stretched the height of the building, stood along three sides I could see. They reflected the brilliant rays back toward the river.…
