Raisin In The Sun Failure

You are a family of 5 living in the same household, you have just received ten grand from an insurance check from a deceased parent. "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry is a story about a poor family who is living in the southside of Chicago and has just been given an insurance check from their father and Mrs.Younger's (aka Mama) husband. The check was for $10,000 which they have been trying to figure out what they are going to be doing with it. Mama, Beneatha, and Walter all have a dream of what they want to spend the money on but they can't come to a compromise. I would side with Walter's decision because over time it would help the family make money and get the family above the poverty line. While Beneatha wants to become a doctor which she is going to need to go to school for and get a degree. Which at the moment is what she wants to do but could always change
Walter would be able to get this family back into shape if the business is a success. His dream is to become as rich as the people he drives around in his valet job by owning a liquor store. This will let Walter buy his wife expensive stuff such as pearls. With the purchase of this liquor store he can finally show the real man he is and that he can support his family.

Even though everybody has their mind set on a specific dream, I believe Walter’s is the best decision to make because overtime he will make money for this family. While Mama would just be wasting money for buying a new house and Beneatha for going to school to becoming a doctor never knowing if she will stay in school or lose interest. After all the work Walter puts into the liquor store he will be supporting his family in no time. Like I said before what would you do if you received ten grand from an insurance
