Yes, A rasin in the sun by Lorraine Hansberry

OK what is your question?
Are you looking for a theme?
do you have any questions that need to be answered, cuz I have a whole list of them for every act

First off thank you for helping me!
This the? What are some major themes shown up throughout the book?
This what I wrote so far
There are several themes that are shown through out the play such as, deferred dreams, importance of family, poverty, and racial discrimination. Before mama moves into the new house her dream was deferred because she was planning to buy house with her husband.

some themes:
The Value and Purpose of Dreams
The Need to Fight Racial Discrimination
The Importance of Family

sorry, I'm watching the OOTP trailers, so I'm kind of side-tracked

need anything else?
I've got loads more ideas if you need them

before I go any farther, are you doing, like, an essay or something, because then I'll know what to tell you that you need.
Did your teacher give you a specific essay question, or was it just "What are the major themes"

Wait, I've got moe themes:
importance of dreams(pretty much the same theme I typed at 4:40)
One major theme of the play is the importance of dreams; each member of the Younger family is driven by them. Mama longs to have her own home in a nice part of town, away from South Chicago; she does not want her grandchildren to grow up in a place where there are rats. Beneatha dreams of getting a good education, becoming a doctor, and marrying a nice man. Walter wants to have a successful business so that he can rise above the poverty he has always known.

IMPORTANT!!!! theme of PRIDE

I found that discrimination and family ties are classified as "minor themes", by the way. (courtesy of PinkMonkey)

sorry, I have to go somewhere....
I'll be back later this week
let me know when the paper is due I'll keep helping you
see you in a day or so:')

Hi Brie! I'm here to help you with your questions about "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry. It seems like you're looking for major themes in the play. You've already mentioned some great themes such as deferred dreams, importance of family, poverty, and racial discrimination. These are all important themes in the play.

In addition to the themes you mentioned, there are a few others that you could explore:

1. The Value and Purpose of Dreams: Each member of the Younger family is driven by their dreams. Mama wants to provide a better life for her family, Beneatha dreams of becoming a doctor, and Walter dreams of escaping poverty. Exploring how these dreams shape the characters' actions and decisions can be a significant theme in the play.

2. The Need to Fight Racial Discrimination: Racial discrimination is an underlying presence throughout the play. The characters face prejudice and struggle to overcome the barriers imposed by society. Exploring how they deal with discrimination and the impact it has on them can be a powerful theme to analyze.

3. The Importance of Pride: Pride is a recurring theme in "A Raisin in the Sun." The characters, especially Walter, struggle with their sense of pride in the face of difficult circumstances. Analyzing the role of pride and how it influences the characters' choices and relationships can bring depth to your analysis.

Remember to support your themes with specific examples and evidence from the play to strengthen your arguments.

It's great that you found additional themes like the importance of dreams and pride. These can definitely be explored further in your essay. Just make sure to provide specific examples from the text to bring your analysis to life.
