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.
