Raisin in the Sun
- In "Raisin in the Sun," I do recognize some bias in the writing. One example is the depiction of white people, such as Karl Lindner, who is portrayed as the antagonist and a symbol of racial discrimination. This may suggest a bias towards portraying white individuals as the source of conflict and oppression, which can contribute to negative stereotypes.
- What captured my attention the most about "Raisin in the Sun" is the way it addresses the theme of dreams and aspirations. The characters' desires for a better life, whether it is Mama's dream of owning a house or Beneatha's ambition to become a doctor, resonated with me. It highlighted the universal human desire for personal growth and the obstacles one can face in pursuing those dreams.
