Death of a Salesman and Raisin in the Sun are both

famous for their portrayals of families in search of

the "American Dream," but for each character in the

two plays, different components of this "Dream"

may have different value. What does this "Dream"

promise? What are its components?

For this essay I would like you to identify one

component of the American Dream found in Raisin

in the Sun that engages you personally in some way.

Identify, analyze, and explain the importance of this

component and its promise in the play. Make sure

you use ample quotes from the play to support your

claims. Then explain to the reader how you have

personally encountered or understand this

component and its promise, and why you either

value or reject it.
