Mama is displayed as a kiss-up because when Asagai came over to hang out with Beneatha, Mama was acting completely different than she normally does. For example on page 64 Mama says, "You must come again I would love to hear about -- (not sure of the name) -- your country." (Hansberry)

Mama is also portrayed as petty because, on page 67, after Travis told her that Miss Johnson said that she didn't have any kitchen cleanser she got angry and said, "Mark two cans of cleanser down on the list there. If she that hard up for kitchen cleanser, I sure don't want to forget to get her none!" (Hansberry)

In my opinion, I think Mama is a really good person just she has a short temper.

For Mama, I chose lonely for her personality trait. In the play 'A Raisin in the Sun' Mama's husband dies and she receives a check with $10,000. Before the check, she was so excited to use it to buy a new house. But when the time came and the check came in she just looked at the check looking upset. For example, "(Slowly her face sobers into a mask of unhappiness)" (Hansberry 69). This shows how it finally hits her that her husband is dead and how lonely she is.

I chose this poem for Mama because in the play she gets mad that Miss Johnson didn't have enough cleaner to share. In the play she tells Travis, her grandson, to go next door and ask Miss Johnson to lend them kitchen cleaner. Travis comes back not long after and explains that she did not have enough cleaner to share. Mama says, "Mark two cans of cleanser down on the list there. If she that hard up for kitchen cleanser I sure don't want to forget to get her none!" (Hansberry 67). This shows that if something doesn't go her way she throws a fit.

Petty People...
Could care less if they are petty.
That's who and what they are.
Constantly seeking the center of attention,
Addressing petty issues
Most people wouldn't mention!
And having a way to nip and tug.
Much like what a little dog does.
Snapping and barking at the slightest little thing.
Petty people...
Exploding their mini volcanic 'tops'
Just to shoot off itsy bitsy lava drops!
That's all those petty people really got!
With their poked out lips...
Like children a closed ear often ignores a lot!

You know I, I'm afraid of change
Guess that's why we stay the same

So tell me to leave, I'll pack my bags, get on the road
Find someone that loves you better than I do, darling, I know
'Cause you remind me every day, I'm not enough, but I still stay

The song July by Noah Cyrus relates to Mama because no matter how much Ruth or Beneatha or Walter yell at Mama she still care deeply about them. Relating to the song, Noah Cyrus talks about how she still cares so much about her lover but he just doesn't care about her as much as she does. For example in the play it says, "Well, let her have it. I'll just call her up and say you got the flu---" (Hansberry 43)

The theme for A Raisin in the Sun would be dreams because the main characters deal with harsh circumstances that rule their lives. In the play Walter explains, "Listen, man, I got some plans that could turn this city upside down. I mean think like he does. Big. Invest big, gamble big, hell, lose big if you have to, you know what I mean. It’s hard to find a man on this whole South side who understands my kind of thinking—you dig?" (Hansberry 86). This quote supports the theme because his dream is to start a liquor store and the quote explains how he is going to make a big change to their lives.
