She shows her distinct uniqueness on page 505. “ ‘I don’t flit! I--I experiment with different forms of expression--’ ” (Hansberry 505). Beneatha is also very determined, no matter what the odds are or what everybody says about it, as shown on page 506. “ ‘Oh, I probably will...but first I’m going to be a doctor, and George, for one, still thinks that's pretty funny. I couldn't be bothered with that. I am going to be a doctor and everybody around here better understand that!’ ” (Hansberry 506).

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.’ ” (Hansberry 506). She also asserts her independence on page 538 when she is with George Murchison. “(He tries to kiss her. She moves away.) ‘Look, we’ve had a nice evening; let’s not spoil it, huh?’...” (Hansberry 538). ]]> 2017-11-16 04:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/1616563/ko5zjeqdnjxd/wish/207516728 1616563 https://padlet.com/1616563/ko5zjeqdnjxd/wish/207517599 One emotional trait that stands out about Beneatha is her openness to try new things, as shown through a conversation between her, Mama, and Ruth on page 504. “Mama: ‘Lord, child, don’t you know what to get tired of this now--like you got tired of that little do with yourself. How long it going to be before you play-acting group you joined last year?’ (looking at Ruth) ‘And what was it the year before that?’ Ruth: ‘The horseback-riding club for which she bought that fifty-five-dollar riding habit that’s been hanging in the closet forever since!’ ” (Hansberry 504).

Then, with a shout--) ‘OCOMOGOSIAY!’ ” (Hansberry 524). She also shows this vibrancy again later on page 524 when she energetically started dancing. “The music comes up, a lovely Nigerian melody. Beneatha listens, enraptured, her eyes far away--'back to the past.' She begins to dance, Ruth is dumbfounded.” (Hansberry 524). link ]]> 2017-11-16 04:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1616563/ko5zjeqdnjxd/wish/207517860
