Sorry for asking a lot of questions. But what can I write as an example of realism in A a Raisin in the Sun I'm having trouble finding an example of it

You're not asking too many questions!

There are a lot of realistic statements. Look at Walter Lee's frustration about opening other people's doors and driving his boss around in HIS limousine. Look at many of Mama's speeches. And keep in mind, or try to see, that it is not just in the words and speeches that hopefulness, hopelessness and realism are expressed. Sometimes it is in the situations and the interactions. Look at the situation that Travis sleeps in the living room (another of Walter Lee's frustrations). It's in a speech, but is reality. So are the cockroaches.

And, as I say below, hopelessness is Ruth's problem, although she never really says it out loud. When Walter Lee is dreaming about the liquor store, she says,, "Eat your eggs" as if his dream isn't worth the blather. And she knows they have no room and can't afford another child. That's reality as she sees it and her hopelessness is in giving a down payment to an abortionist. Beneatha, Mama and Walter Lee have dreams, Ruth does not.

No problem at all! I'm here to help. In the play "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, realism is a predominant style that portrays life as it actually is, without idealization or romanticism. Realism often focuses on ordinary people facing everyday challenges.

To find an example of realism in "A Raisin in the Sun," you can consider how the play presents the struggles and aspirations of the Younger family, who are African American and living in poverty. Here's an example:

One instance of realism can be found in the character of Walter Lee, who aspires to become a successful businessman. In Act I, Scene 2, Walter's dream of opening a liquor store with his friends is revealed. This dream reflects the economic limitations and social realities faced by African Americans in the 1950s.

To further explore this example, you can analyze the dialogue, stage directions, and conflicts surrounding Walter's aspirations. Consider how his dream is influenced by his desire for financial stability, his frustration with societal constraints, and the impact it has on his family dynamics. This analysis will help you delve deeper into understanding the realistic portrayal of the characters and their dreams within the context of the play's social and historical setting.

Remember, exploring the play's text, context, and character motivations will provide a better understanding of its realism and the complex themes it explores.
