Choose a character from the play, A Raisin in the Sun, and create a character map of sorts.
Describe this character and his/her significance in the play. What do they dream of having? Why
did you choose to discuss this character? What about their personality and presence in the play
spoke to you as a reader?


        In a Raisin in the Sun the character who caught my attention the most was Mama as I was

reading through the play . You can say that she's the " man/voice " of the house. She makes

sure everyone is fine  most of all, her grandchild. Mama is a strong black woman who's

kind and doesn't mind to express how she feels . She wants things to be done the right way all

the time. Her  biggest dream is to see her family safe, happy, but most of all at peace. Why I chose

to consider this protagonist Mama is because I like the way she views the world. No matter the

struggle of being poor and also a black woman, Mama stills manages to be happy with what she

has. She also has hope and knows how to run the money that was left for her.
