“what happens to a dream deferred? does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?”
family dynamics, class, and race
“No ... something has changed. (She looks at him) You something new, boy. In my time we was worried about not being lynched and getting to the North if we could and how to stay alive and still have a pinch of dignity too ... Now here come you and Beneatha -talking 'bout things we ain't never even thought about hardly, me and your daddy. You ain't satisfied or proud of nothing we done. I mean that you had a home; that we kept you out of trouble till you was grown; that you don't have to ride to work on the back of nobody's streetcar- You my children-but how different we become.”

i heard this was good, but it still exceeded my expectations. i adored how every character was written, and even though it was a play, I found it to be incredibly poetic.

This was a good book but I do not like plays and it was hard to read sometimes.
