individualistic

Quote: 80 " thats up to george if hes ashamed if his heritage"
" nothing except cut it off "

explanation : This quote shows that Benetha is individualistic because it shows her not caring about what others say about her hair, she cut it and she wears it how she wants and she doesn't care who doesn't approve of it. Benetha was questioned about her hair, and she didn't understand why they cared so much if its her head, she got frustrated. Benetha isn't careless but she doesn't care what others think, she gets offended sometimes for her decisions.

passionate

Quote: 133 " I always thought it was the one concrete thing in the world that a human being could do. fix up the sick you know and make them whole again."

explanation: This quote shows that shes passionate about helping others, she explains that she always saw that fixing someone and helping them really made her happy , and it was something she knew she always wanted to do.  Benetha tells Mama that when she was younger and she saw someone hurt themselves , then they got fixed at the hospital, she knew that was passion, she knew she wanted to do that forever, but nobody seems to really care about what she wants/wanted.

My personal opinion of Benetha is that I think she has tough act, because in her family there is always someone putting their personal opinion in her life, but underneath she feels like no one listens to her. I sympathize with Benetha, I feel like she is a important character in most characters life. She shows growth throughout the book with her family but mainly herself. She starts opening up more and she stops caring about society and the rules.

For my art comparison, I chose the famous picture " Rosie " because this shows women that we are strong, independent, and that we can do anything. I feel as though this represents Benetha, because she is strong, and she believes in herself, and what she does. Benetha doesn't care what people say or think,because she knows if its something she wants, she will do it. The colors of this picture are red,blue,and yellow. The colors could be showing a symbol of an any women, being herself, and doing what she wants. The mood of this picture gives off a vibe that makes women feel like they can do anything. It makes you feel powerful, and it gives you motivation to do anything.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

This poem relates to my character Benetha, because it goes into explaining a phenomenal woman who has flaws, and is not perfect, but to them as long as they are happy, they are a phenomenal woman. This can relate to my character, because she doesn't believe she is the best, or perfect, and people are constantly questioning her, and not believing in her. She isn't someone who is weak, she is strong.

Cause 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

This song relates to my character Benetha,because it describes a woman with many flaws but even with them they believe in their selves, and they do what makes they happy, and what makes them feel like a superwoman. The character Benetha goes through things in the book where she is questioned about her looks, or what she wants to do, and who she wants to be with in life. She realizes that if its something she wants shes going to do it. The superwoman song represents that, and can be compared with Benetha's attitude towards society.

The theme for a " Raisin the sun" would be family.
" no family is perfect.. we fight, we fight, we even stop talking to each other at times,but in the end family is family, and the love will always be there."
The quote represents the theme family because it describes how flawed a family can be, and how nobody is perfect but they all love eachother. In " A Raisin in the sun" all the characters go through trials and tribulations to get to where they are at the end of the book. The family sticks together through the hard times and they become one. The quote relates to their family because it can compare the outcome of a flawed family with imperfections, becoming whole again.
