After reading A Raisin in the Sun, what have you learned



After reading A Raisin in the Sun, what have you learned? What do you still wonder?

(about the story, the world, what the author is saying about life, social issues in the play)

Notes from class discussion are on the next page.

• Sometimes things are too good to be true

• Don’t trust someone you don’t really know with your money

• When something negative happens, try to turn it to a positive

• Why do some people still try to keep their neighborhoods racially pure?

• What did Willy Harris do with the money?

• Family is a big part of life, and together they can get through a lot

• I wonder if the Youngers ever found peace within their home.

• I wonder if Beneatha ever went to college.

• I wonder about Ruth’s pregnancy.

• I wonder whether Beneatha married Asagai.

• I wonder why people are still racist and what can make it better.

• I wonder if Walter Lee ever opened that store.

• I learned that money isn’t worth losing family over; family lasts longer than money

• Individual dreams are not as important as a whole family’s dreams

• Cherish the love that you have

• I still wonder what happened after the Youngers moved into Clybourne Park

• I wonder what’s going to happen with Beneatha – whether she married Asagai and moved to Africa, whether she got to go to college & become a doctor

• I wonder about Ruth’s pregnancy – did she have the baby? how did it affect the family?

• I wonder if Walter ever ran into Willy and/or Bobo again, how would he react?

• Did Mama ever get her garden?

• Whatever happened to George Murchison?

• I wonder how Ruth & Walter’s relationship was after the story ended.

• Whatever happened to Mr. Lindner? How does he like having the Youngers in the neighborhood?

• What was the aftermath of the family moving to their new home? What was the reaction of the neighborhood to the Youngers moving in?
