I believe Walter is the main character in the play. He has helped create the story line. He has caused many of the problems or challenges that have happened in the story.

# data[].attributes.body
The main characters of "A raisin in the sun'' are Walter and Mama. I say this because both of these characters decide if the family will move into the new house which is arguably most connected to the main conflict of the play.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the main character in the play is Mama. Because she is pretty much the queen of the Younger family she was the one who bought the house with the money. The check belonged to her as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Racism- We've had riots not so long ago in the past due to this problem, and from that, there is a thing called Black Lives Matter. In the play it sets back in the past where it shows that blacks could only do certain things, where as whites could do many.

# data[].attributes.body
Segregation, financial issues,  and gender discrimination were shown in the book and are still around today.
I agree with Darby because women weren't allowed to have certain jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with patrick because Family and caring for each other is the most important thing in the novel. All characters look out for each other like when mama pais for benethas college.

# data[].attributes.body
It was kind of like a shadow to what was going on in the play- when they were going through their bad times the plant was usually shriveled up and dehydrated, but throughout the play everything sort of starts to fit in place and they live a healthier life which is kind of what the plant did.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Walter portrays the most negative viewpoint in the play because when Mama buys the new house, Walter doesn't really care for it, and he's not happy about the fact that there's a new and better life ahead of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Ruth is the main character in the play. Ruth is always in all of the scenes and she always "participates" in the conflicts and other action.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Yanni on his opinions of the conflicts that are still present. He really brought up a good idea that is really present. Poverty is one of the biggest issues our country faces now and Racism is still very present.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with yaunni. He said racism. Many people use and say comments as jokes now that are very offensive to other people even though the people saying the comment don't realize it is.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Yianni because I also believe that poverty and racism are two problems that are in the play that are still present today in modern day life.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Bailey an Yianni because poverty is a very big problem that's if you look is all over the place.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Yianni, racism is still alive in our community and around the world. I also agree with Ian, abortion is a problem. Although it is your own opinion of how you feel about abortion. It is a huge decision.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with yianni with the common issue today of poverty because some people cant get enough money to afford enough to support their families.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Darby about how Gender discrimination is still alive. For example, the Women's March in Washington which was about to give women the same rights as men.

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree with Yianni i feel that there are still these issues in the society

# data[].attributes.subject
I agree with Yianni i feel that there are still these issues in the society

# data[].attributes.body
Racism was a problem in the play 50 years ago and still is today. I believe that racism is still a problem today because people feel that they have to be extremely mean to people who are different from them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with darby because gender discrimination is a topic that happens in the play and now with jobs or certain tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
In the circle everyone was saying poverty. I agree because many people are incapable to get a job and end up poor and homeless. Many people have been speaking about this problem to this day.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe racism, poverty and gender discrimination are issues in the play. These issues go unnoticed throughout the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main character in the play is Mama. This is because everyone and everything significant in the play revolves around her and branches off from her. If HER husband hadn't died, they wouldn't of had the money in the first place.

# data[].attributes.body
Mamas plant represents her families "deferred" dreams for a better life, under the struggle of life in Chicago's south side.

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree with what Sophie said i think there are more than one race that describes racism

I agree with what Sophie said i think there are more than one race that describes racism

# data[].attributes.body
There were a lot of themes shown in this book, but i believe that struggle, lack of money and segregation.
I agree with Bailey and Henry because they were always one big family.
I also agree with Evan.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dominant theme of the play is struggle because they complain through out the story how they don't have enough money to buy whenever they feel like it.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that struggle is a huge theme. Everything this family has to deal with is hard, challenging and unfair. These problems affect their relationships and lifestyle. But in the end they get through the struggles and survive.

# data[].attributes.body
i Really agree with Patrick (in red) about how the play is all about chasing dreams since every characters is chasing some time of dream in some way. I also think that Bailey was right with the idea of family and how the whole play revolved around the younger family.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with Patrick that the theme is dreams. Walter shows this and how much he wants to be successful and not just have an ordinary job that many blacks had back then

# data[].attributes.body
I think the dominant theme in the play is struggle. This is because the Younger family faced many struggles such as poverty, lack of money, racism, and segregation. I disagree with Evan because I don't think the dominant theme is segregation because they don't always focus on that and they more focus on the fact that they are struggling through everything in life.

# data[].attributes.body
The dominant feeling in the play is family because the whole play revolves around family coming together and making tough and risky decisions. Family is what brought all these situations and solutions together.

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree with Patrick i think what he said about the theme being dreams was true

# data[].attributes.subject

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Henri, family is an important theme. This family has been through many challenges together and lasted. I also agree with Ian, risk is a huge theme as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with bailey because through it all family was always there for each other and worked through it together and helped each other with personal challenges

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Patrick D. That you walter blew off all the money, although he didnt say a theme and maybe a theme could be be smart with money.

# data[].attributes.body
The dominant theme in "A raisin in the sun" is struggle. The younger family faces many struggles including segregation, financal trouble and npt being able

# data[].attributes.body
I felt that all people in the center had great points but iannis point I felt was the best. I felt his point was the most true. Racism still exists and poverty as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Patrick because I feel like the only person who wanted to gamble was Walter while the rest of the family played pretty safe.

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree with Mirren how the plant symoblizes the way the family feels

# data[].attributes.subject
I agree with Mirren how the plant symoblizes the way the family feels

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with Mirren because it was a poetic way to symbolize how even though the wort will happen to the plant it still survived, just like the younger's. I also think that Henry had some good ideas on how it symbolizes the Younger's.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mirren. I believe the Plant is a symbol of their family and the challenges they have to face. And in the end the plant is still alive and so are they. They're moving into a nicer home and moving on to a new chapter in their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mirren because Mama thinks of it as a representation of her family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think mamas plant shows a strong connection with the Younger family because the plant is not thriving like the Younger family at the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
The plant symbolizes all the families been through because no matter what the plant still lived on even without much light.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with marin and how the plant was struggling and it was always pulling through like the family was.

# data[].attributes.body
The plant represents the younger family.
I agree with everybody. They all stated good cases and each one made sense to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with patrick. The plant represents hope and how she cars for her family. And hopes the best for her family.

# data[].attributes.headline
The plant symbolizes and follows the way the younger is feeling

# data[].attributes.subject

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with bailey that in the beginning the plant wasn't growing and that was how the family was but the plant was still holding on just like the family

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that Ruth is the main character because she caused most of the conflicts like the baby and she had to deal with Walter and she really showed the struggle of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
walter, he was the one who had most of the problems like loosing their money and binge drinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I  agree with Georgia  that Mama was the main character because she is the one who bought the house and she was the one who recieved the money and she is always the one who comforts others, but I also think that Mr. Younger, Mama's husband, is the main character even though he never acted in the play it was hos life insurance policy that brought the money and the play is also about what descisions his children make based on how they were raised.  Also, Walter tries to be a better dad and i think that it is mostly for Travis but also because Walter wants to be more like his dad.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Georgia and Wynn because like she said everyone and everything revolves around Mama. I also think Mama made most of the decisions like when she bought the house and let Walter be in charge of the family. I disagree with Miranda because Ruth wasn't in a lot of the scenes and when she was she didn't say much or wasn't the center of attention.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Georgia because I believe that Mama is the main character because she basically carries the family, she is the leader, and the money came from her husband, so she got to decide what she wanted to do with it. The house that they use to live in was mama's, and the new house is Mama's. In the play, Mama is the family's advice. When something goes wrong, people go to Mama for help/advice. Mama guides a lot of people in this play.

# data[].attributes.body
Mama's plant is important because in a way it sort of represents their life/She can relate to it. for example, during different seasons a plant might struggle to survive/ stay keep growing. just like sometimes in life it is hard but you can always get through that one time and start to get back up on your feet. all problems will pass and you will be able to thrive in a new environment, just like when they moved out of the house they all were happy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the main theme in the play is family and  working together because as everyone faces their challenges and as life got easier you could see them spitting up but, as life got harder, they came closer together to comfort each other and to try and gain hope. Throughout the book you can see the family moving closer together and trying to gain hope.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with wynn and joey because Walter kind of represents the family and causes all of the conflict.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there is no main character in the play because almost all of the Younger has the most screen time. Except Travis.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mama is the main character in the play, because she is always trying to keep the family together, and she is getting a check and every thing is about what mama wants to do with the check.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Kaylee because racism is still present today because racism is related to poverty. For example, right now Baltimore is one of the poorest cities in America and a lot of black people live in Baltimore so I think black people are being treated unfairly because of racism.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Ruth is the main character because even though Walter expresses more emotions and the reader can understand Walter's struggle, I feel as if Im able to connect and relate with Ruth more, because I feel Ruth represents the audiences emotions, and Ruth is there when all the problems occur.

# data[].attributes.body
I also think Walter could be considered the main character in the play, because he is always complaining, and the play also revolves around him because he wants a lot to do with the money that mama is getting.

# data[].attributes.body
Mama's plant is an important symbol because in the novel when they bought their new house, they were moving their furniture and everything but Ruth asks Mama if she's going to bring the old plant to the other house. Mama says she is because shes says it represents her and how old she is.

I agree with Gabe because everything that happens that is good something bad happens as a result. For example when they bought a new house their neighbors didn't want them in their neighborhood. I also agree with Georgia because Walter is always sad or angry and is always complaining. For example he complains about how he doesn't like his job and how his dreams never come true.

# data[].attributes.body
The play represents a negative outlook on life. The person who best represents this outlook is Willy Harris, just because Willy is a scumbag who deserves to go to prison for a very long time.

# data[].attributes.body
I said that it was a both positive and negative view of life but mostly positive because when one of the characters was not feeling very good about the world there was another character that would cheer them up and show them the positive side.  I think that Mama demonstrates this the best because when Ruth found out she was pregnant, Mama cheered her up,  and when Walter lost all the money Mama was the one who told Beneatha to consider Walter's feelings and in the end Walter ends up standing up for himself. Also in the end they reached their goal of moving into the new house and all the adults volunteer to work more to pay for the house because they have hope for a better future and they want a better life for all the children in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with everyone that said positive and negative. In the play, the family faces struggles, and where it seems like there is no hope, a light shines through. Things get better. This play shows that even though there are struggles, you still need to fight through it, and still need to try to have a good time with life. Mrs. Johnson also tells the family that they need to look at the bright side, and always try to have a good time with life. She says that life gets harder, but you still need to get through it. There were many many struggles during the play, but they still reached their goal, buying the house.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the main character is Ruth. I say this because Ruth is the one that is involved in almost every conflict and sometimes it's about her. For example, a conflict around Ruth is her pregnancy. Beneatha gets mad because they don't know where to put the baby.

# data[].attributes.body
i think mama represents this viewpoint the best because shes the oldest and the most experienced with facing these problems and she makes statements on life on how society can change people

# data[].attributes.body
I think the play portrays a negative life style, and Walter does the best job of showing this, because Walter comes home drunk from the bar, and he lashes out at his family, and basically gives all of his and his sisters money away.  This shows that walter isn't very lucky or considerate and that shows a negative life style.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the main character is Walter Lee. This is because most of the main conflicts, and plot driving events are caused by, or impact Walter in a major way.

# data[].attributes.body
'A raisin in the sun' presents a more hopeful feel, as the younger family has a check coming, but less hopeful and more bleak towards the end, as Walter blows it all on an investment that doesnt work

# data[].attributes.body
Racism is still very prominent in today's society, and is still a problem. Poverty is also a major issue, especially in large cities and developing countries.

# data[].attributes.body
Though the play has many themes, The dominant one is hope. Even when the younger family was suffering in poverty, there was hope of a better life. Even though Bennie was made fun of for wanting to bee a doctor, she remained hopeful. And even when Walter blew all of the money, the younger family remained hopeful.
