Asagai: "For a woman it should be enough." Beneatha: " I know – because that’s what it says in all the novels that men write. But it isn’t. Go ahead and laugh – but I’m not interested in being someone’s little episode in America or – (With feminine vengeance) – one of them!" In the text Bennie says that even though people tell her what she should be or what she should be happy with she still stands her ground for what she wants. Bennie doesn't want to be a house wife who watches over the kids and only speaks when spoken to. Bennie wants to create her own life and become a doctor, and with that determination she will most likely succeed. ]]> 2019-01-09 18:20:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/318932603 jcarunchio45 https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/318937949 Another trait from Bennie is that she is very forward thinking. Beneatha: “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.” The idea of being a woman and not being married was very out of the ordinary. Bennie being very forward thinking and having the thought of not needing men in her life.]]> 2019-01-09 18:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/318937949 jcarunchio45 https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/319743627 In my personal opinion I think I can relate to Bennie. Not wanting to do all the things everyone else wants me to do. I think she's a very good person in how she always wants to help people and become a doctor. I also think that once she finishes med school and becomes a doctor she's going to help a lot of people.]]> 2019-01-11 16:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/319743627 jcarunchio45 https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/319745385 In my opinion I think this kind of relates to the character Bennie because becoming one of the first woman doctors can be pretty stressful. Having different opinions from everyone else can be pretty conflicting as well. Should she stay on her career path of wanting to become a doctor, or should she just do what every other woman would do.]]> 2019-01-11 16:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/319745385 jcarunchio45 https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/320407609 Lost Again by; Lily
"Just as you must never underestimate
your ability
to find yourself,
You must never underestimate
your ability
to find yourself,
lost again."
The poem relates to Bennie because she can often get lost in what she wants and what other people want. ]]> 2019-01-14 17:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/320407609 jcarunchio45 https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/320413439 Live it Up by; Colbie Caillet
“I’m unstoppable. I drop-kick impossible. I live it up.”
In the lyrics it holds the determined fire that I believe is in Bennie through out the whole story about who she wants to be the first woman doctor.]]> 2019-01-14 17:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/320413439 jcarunchio45 https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/320915635 "I do whatever it takes
'Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top I'm ready for
Whatever it takes"
I think the lyrics describes the character Bennie in "Raisin in the Sun" because no matter what she will achieve her dream in becoming a doctor and is determined and "ready for whatever it takes]]> 2019-01-15 18:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/320915635 jcarunchio45 https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/320917513 I think a theme in the movie is not giving up about achieving dreams. In the text Walter says to his son  "You wouldn’t understand yet, son, but your daddy’s gonna make a transaction . . . a business transaction that’s going to change our lives." Walter has a dream to get a house and to create a good life for his family and it shows in the text.]]> 2019-01-15 18:18:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jcarunchio45/1kq8l8q2eafz/wish/320917513
