Fences and A Raisin in the Sun were similar in the fact that they both had black families that were struggling. Both involved dreams, however Fences was about having to let go of them while Raisin in the Sun was about trying to hold on to them.

Sometimes you have to let go of little pieces of yourself to make other people, the ones you love, happy. You also learn to be responsible and don't have to love someone, but if you are responsible for them, they need to be responsible too.

No matter who it is, don't let your dream die. As soon as you grasp it, hold on to it. Walter tried his best to hold onto his, opening a business of his own, and so did Beneatha, to become a doctor. Try your best to achieve before its too late and it dries up, like a raisin in the sun.

The lyrics "sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile" really represents Beneatha, especially since she had the money that she could use to go to college and be a doctor, however Walter took a chance with it and its all gone now, so it may not seem worth it. But she listens to her heart and pushes on anyway.

Listen to Your Heart by Roxette

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
The feeling of belonging to your dreams

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do

This, I feel like has to do with Beneatha and her dreams, because she does not want to let her dream go until she achieves it.

This represents Beneatha because she has a clear mindset, which is heading for her goal, and she tries to keep peace in her life.

I sympathize with Beneatha because even during the worst of times, she still tries the best she can do and she puts everything aside to acquire what she has in mind.

Beneatha knows their current situation with money but works as much as she can to reach her goal to be a doctor.
“Get over it? What are you talking about, Ruth? Listen, I’m going to be a doctor. I’m not worried about who I’m going to marry yet – IF I ever get married.” (pg 133)
Beneatha wants nothing but to be a doctor, and marriage isn't even on her mind because she is so focused on it.

Beneatha was a simple woman, the sister to Walter and daughter of Mama. She just wants to follow her dreams and do whatever she can and make the best out of the life she has to become a doctor, even though they don't necessarily have the money, she puts in everything she has. She deserves more appreciation.
