“…But first I’m going to be a doctor, and George, for one, still thinks that’s pretty funny. I couldn’t be bothered with that. I’m going to be a doctor and everybody around here better understand that!” p. 50

This Quote shows the theme dream vs reality because it shows how she feels about her dreams. She is very determined and will be a doctor no matter what she has to do. But in reality it is very uncommon for a woman to be a doctor in this time period especially since she is a black woman. So she is fighting reality so she can get her dream. And she is also fighting her family as well because it seems that no one is willing to help her with her dreams or support them but her and maybe mama.

I chose this song because it shows how Beneatha kind of feels. Every time she turns around someone else is telling her what she should be or do no one is really supporting her well at least not at first. She has to do it all by herself and she is like super woman. She is constantly dealing with all of these different problems at once all of these different guys and her at home life as well she has to put up with and deal with a lot like super woman.

Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
State of humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me

I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a…

This poem represents Beneatha because it shows how she stands for her self and she will not change no matter what she will always be herself. She never lets anyone change her mind she always stays strong and stubborn in her ways and barley cares about what anyone says she doesn't let it get to her.

I'm nothing more
than who I choose to be
I will stand tall
I will be free

but it's hard
to stand just me
it'll be okay though
because I'll be set free

no one knows
the true fear we share
they'll only know
when they start to care

that day'll never come
so it's not worth the try
it's time I stood out
so I take one final sigh

I step out of the crowd
as some choose to laugh and stare
they say 'You'll never make it'
and 'This you'll never bare'

but they don't know me
like they think they do
it's my time to stand out
when will it be you?

This picture represents Beneatha because it shows how she is different and how she stands out. She is a black female in the 1950s and she wants to be a doctor. Not only is that different because of the time period but also she is a female and wants to be a female doctor and she is of color. It is hard enough just growing up of color in the time period let alone going to school and she wants to be a doctor. It just shows that she is very strong minded and whats to be different and be her own person and set her own goals and do her own thing she wants to be different.

In my opinion I think that Beneatha is a good person she would not marry the men for their money and she always stuck with what she was doing. She never really let people or things get to her and never really let anyone change her mind. She speaks her mind and has her own mind set she thinks her own way and wants to be different then everyone else. She can be very stubborn in her ways when she feels she is right or doing it the right way.

she can also be very honest if that is how she feels that that is what she will say she has no problem speaking her mind. She will speak about anything and how she feels about it. she has gone back and forth with almost everyone in the house about the way she feels about certain things. And she had no problem speaking her mind if it will hurt your feelings or not she is always very honest.

“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

She is very strong minded she wants to be a doctor no matter what other people say about her. She has a lot of determination and will do whatever she has to do to make her dreams come true. She does not care about what most people think or say she knows what she wants and that is all that matters to her. She does not depend on anyone she makes her own ways and gets things to happen. She is determined to be what she wants.
