Determined

Walter to Beneatha: “Who the hell told you you have to be a doctor? If you so crazy ‘bout messing ‘round with sick people—then go be a nurse like other women—or just get married and be quiet…” p. 38

This quote shows that being a doctor was not common around this day and age. No woman's goals when she decided her career was to be a doctor. It was more common to be a nurse or just a housewife. As Walter further backes up, a lot of people were not supportive of what she had her mind set upon, but through everyone's opinions nobody could change Beneatha's mind on being a doctor. She stayed true to her word and showed immackulate determination through it all.

Confused

“I’m just tired of hearing about God all the time. What has He got to do with anything. Does He pay tuition? … It’s just that I get tired of Him getting credit for all the things the human race achieves through its own stubborn effort. There simply is no blasted God—there is only man and it is he who makes miracles!” p. 50

This quote shows Beneatha's confusion on what God does to help her. In her household, she is in a strong Christian based home. She hears all the time of God being this magical man that blesses people with miracles up above. This is her definition of God and this is the only way she can see him being real. She seems to feel that she is not being blessed with these miracles. Her tuition is not getting payed, and she still lives in a cluttered house. Beneatha has difficulties understanding her culture and ethnicity.

Beneatha was one of my favorite character from " A Raisin In The Sun". I do sympathize with Beneatha, because all she wants to do is accomplish her dreams. I can relate to her because what I am passionate in, people have tried to put me down and say I was not good enough for it. She does not listen to the criticizes and she continues to achieve her goals.I do think Beneatha is a good person because I admire her passion and her drive for what she believes in. She is a person you can look up to when somebody tells you that you are not good enough, or that sport/ job is not for you.

This art resembles to beneatha, because beneatha is also swinging to be a doctor. The growth of the leaves on the tree's resemble new beginnings. No woman were doctors in Beneatha's day, she is starting a new error. Not choosing to follow what the average woman may do as her career. In the picture the girl is swinging back and forth getting closer and closer to the center. Like Beneatha the center represents her license as a doctor, she will keep swinging until she reaches there.

Who says that things cannot be done?
Nothings Impossible on earth;
Most things are possible under the sun;
But perseverance should be thine friend!

The one who gives up with ease is a fool!
The wise person labors with determination;
Yet, one must choose the things that one can do,

And go full steam ahead, till come success.

Perseverance is the secret of success;
By continual toil, failures can be avoided;
Great things were done by burning midnight oil's
"The toiler harvests best of fruits in life"

Dr John Celes
Beneatha shows that anything is possible with perseverance. She shows that even tho her career was not for women, nothing is impossible. She shows that she would not give up until she came out with what she has strived for. Like the poem says one must choose their paths, and Beneatha's path was not easy. The difference between the strong and the weak is that the weak fold easily, and the strong stay down until the end.

Independent- Ne Yo

Say, oh is something about
Kinda woman that want you but don't need you
Hey, I can't figure it out
Is something about her
Ooh there's something about
Kinda woman that can do for herself
I look at her and it makes me proud
There's something about her

Something ooh so sexy about
Kinda woman that don't even need my help
She said she got it, she got it (she said she got it, she got it)
No doubt, there's something about her (there's something' about her)

Cause she work like a boss
Play like a boss
Car and the crib she 'bout to pay 'em both off
And bills are payed on time, yeah
She made for a boss
Only a boss
Anything less she telling them to get lost

Beneatha is very independent. She is very driven and focused to her career. She is not focused on getting married, that will come last she is focused on getting her money. That is what the song says, how a women can make her own money and provide for herself, without the need of a man to provide for her. Beneatha is not in need of a man at all; she is focused on making sure her own self is good first.

Money is a problem throughout both themes. In fences the only reason they have the house is because of Gabes check, and the only reason in ARITS has their house is because of Walter's dads passing ( it was his insurance check). Money was the reason most of the conflicts had arisen in the plays. Like money was the reason Walter gambled the money in the first place, also money was the reason troy would not sign the college letter because he wanted cory to work while playing sports.
The drive is also there for some of the characters. Both Cory and Beneatha wanted to accomplish things that were not common for their kind. Beneatha wanted to be a doctor when only men were doctors, and Cory wanted to play football when sports were not really for colored people. They both had obstacles that tried to hold them back to accomplishing their dreams. With Beneatha it was she did not have enough money to fund her nursing school, and with Cory it was that his dad did not support his dreams in playing football.
