         <description><![CDATA[<div>Beneatha is not your typical black women in the 50's. She wants to go to college to learn and to become a doctor. She doesn't feel like she needs to ever get married. If it happens, it happens, but it is not something she is going to force.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Beneatha doesn't want to rely on a man to make money and provide for her. "I’m not worried about</div><div>who I’m going to marry yet—if I ever get married." She doesn't believe that a women needs a man especially because she wants to provide for herself.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Beneatha is 20 years old and in college to become a doctor. She is the most educated member of the Younger family. "It means someone who is willing to give </div><div>up his own culture and submerge himself completely in </div><div>the dominant, and in this case oppressive culture" You'll never hear anything like this to come out of Walter's mouth.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Post 4: Strengths and Weaknesses</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Strength - Beneatha is very caring and she wants to do good. This is why she wanted to become a doctor, to help people when they can not help themselves. "Fix up the sick, you know – and make them whole again. This was truly being God…I wanted to cure." Her caring is the reason she is in college. She cares so much that she won't let anything prevent her from helping others.<br>Weakness - Beneatha is also a little bit superficial. She dated George mainly because he was rich. You could easily tell that Beneatha had a much stronger connection with Asagai then she did with George and yet she still stayed with them both.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Beneatha used to fix her hair to make it look presentable. Asagai believed that she was much more beautiful with her natural hair and that she should be true to herself. Beneatha was so confident with Asagai that decided that he was right. When she went on a date with George with her hair natural he told her to go fix it. I feel like this image is Beneatha trying to decide who she should be with. A man who loves her for who she is, or a man who doesn't really care about her.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This poem is about broken dreams which related to how Beneatha's dreams were broken when she found out that Walter spent all of her college money. This poem isn't exactly her situation but there were a few lines that really stood out and really connected. The poem says "I want to be someone who is there for any and all". All Beneatha really wanted to do was to help people and when Walter spent her money he took that away from her. It also says,"As i think of who i want to be" She wanted to be a black female doctor, she had big dreams and they were taken away. She is stuck with the dreams she had before but without any chance of having them come true.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Beneatha was a feminist. She believed that a women should have the some privileges as a man, this included being allowed to do the same job. Ruth normally stays at home, she cooks and cleans for her family and doesn't really have a real job. That is what women use to do in the 50s. Beneatha wants more. She wants to be a doctor and wants there to be more women doctors in the world.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Post 9: Raisin in the Sun Theme</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Theme of Raisin in the Sun is dreams. Everyone in that house has a dream that is near to impossible to achieve. They are all basically about a better life. "<em>Man say to his woman: I got me a dream. His woman say: Eat your eggs." This quote was said by Walter implying that Ruth does not have dreams, but Ruth had the same dreams as him. Theirs dreams were having a big house and lots of money. Beneatha wanted to be doctor, mama just wanted a nice life and for everyone to be happy.</em></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One theme in Fences is love. I believe that Troy did love his family, he just didn't know how to express it. So he built fences, to keep the ones he loved in. "<em> Some build fences to keep people out ... other(s) build fences to keep people in." </em>He ran away from his father and had to leave behind all of his siblings. He lost touch with all of them except for Gabe. Then Gabe went to war and suffered serious brain damage and was never the same. Troy lost so much that all he wants to do is to keep the ones he loves in and never let them go.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In both plays, the characters had bad jobs and were discriminated against. In Raisin and the Sun, Walter was a limo driver driving white people around. In Fences, Troy was disposing of their garbage. Ruth and Rose both stayed at home and cooked and cleaned. Troy and Beneatha had bigger dreams then the others and they got a hard time  for it. Travis and Lyons were both always asking for money. They all wanted more then they had because they knew that what they were given wasn't right.<br>Their themes however, weren't very similar. Fences talked more about wanting to stay put and everything basically staying the same. Troy was afraid of losing what he had. Raisin in the Sun was about change and wanting to get out of the situation they were in. Walter wanted a job where he was not a servant to white people and one where he got payed a lot better. That is why he was working so hard to together money to buy the liquor shop.</div>]]></description>
