"Harlem"

One of the major themes of "A Raisin in the Sun" was the struggle to achieve this, like having a family, a dog, and a white picket fence.

The American Dream

What happens to $10,000 from the check?

Mama uses $3000 to spend a down-payment on a house. She then gives the rest to Walter Lee to save $4000 for Beneatha’s medical school tuition. But Walter Lee gives it to his business partner, Willy Harris, who steals the money.

Does Walter Lee take Karl Lidner’s deal to buyout the house in the ending of A Raisin in the Sun.

Walter considers the deal but rejects it. The Youngers (Walters Family) reject this and prepare to move into their new home.

One of the major themes of "A Raisin in the Sun" was, “What happens when a dream deferred.” What does this mean?

This play shows poverty and systemic oppression force people to postpone or abandon their personal dreams. But how shared family hopes outlast individual disappointment.

“Harlem” is about the psychological and physical cosnquences when African Americans are denied the American Dream of equality and advancement.
