Dreams

Dreams are a very important part of living; they give you a reason to get out of bed and work towards achieving it. However, your dreams can affect everyone around you and they don't always react the way you'd like them to.






In "A Raisin in the Sun," all the characters have dreams, and they all affect the people around them differently. Mama's dream to own a house with a garden and lots of light leads her to buy a house in an all-white neighborhood, which makes Walter angry and the family nervous. Beneatha's dream to embrace her heritage irritates George, but Asagai wants her to embrace her background too, as he has. Walter's dream to be able to provide for his family creates the biggest issue with the family however; he invests their last $6500 in his friend's liquor store thinking he'll make money, but his friend runs off with the money. His dream of being able to provide for his family is shattered and all their money is gone, leaving everyone angry with him.

My dream is to either own my own pastry shop and become a pastry chef since I love baking, or become a hairstylist. My mom, however, doesn't really like the idea of her child not having a "real job." But, she still supports me and has taught me everything I know about baking.
