 Beneatha is bold 

"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.…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’m going to be a doctor and everybody around here better understand that!” p. 50 

Beneatha shows boldness in the quote because back in that time period being a doctor as a female wasn't normal. Despite being a woman, she is willing to stick to her dream. Beneatha was told to marry someone or become a nurse by the entire family but she won't be discouraged to become a doctor. Beneatha says "if I ever get married." That's uncommon to be unmarried, and her mother and Ruth are stunned and disagree. However Beneatha knows she is destined to be a doctor and to be better, that's why she is telling her family "everybody around here better understand that!"]]> 2019-01-09 18:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/318933852 Post #2 ksears78 https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/318944745 Beneatha is rebellious
 “I’m just tired of hearing about God all the time. What has He got to do with anything. Does He pay tuition? … It’s just that I get tired of Him getting credit for all the things the human race achieves through its own stubborn effort. There simply is no blasted God—there is only man and it is he who makes miracles!” p. 50 

Beneatha is rebellious because she is saying the God hasn't done anything but mankind has, and they are just giving him credit. Her mother is very religious, and Beneatha knows that saying she doesn't believe that God makes people achieve greatness, is the opposite of what her mother believes. She feels that she as a doctor will create the miracles through her own effort. Beneatha knows she will anger her mother but she is committed to her ideas.

In the book she never is actually mean to anyone and keeps an open mind, and a very honest  person. She seems to work hard in school, and helps her mom at home with chores. She shares a room with her mother and never complains about that. She is young and has big ideas about her life as it is, and also about her future. ]]> 2019-01-14 17:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/320421365 Post 4 ksears78 https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/320421508 What this picture is a picture from family guy where they do a crossover with star wars and peter the guy in the picture in working for the rebellion to stop the evil forces by fight them any way they can. This relates to Beneatha because her dream is to be a doctor and she won't let anyone get in her way.]]> 2019-01-14 17:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/320421508 post 5 ksears78 https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/320931630 “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined."
Exclaimed Henry David Thoreau.  Thoreous' poem relates to Benita because she is dreaming of a life bigger than most of her family can see. We see Benita being pressured to settle for other peoples ideas of what her life should be. 
Benitha feels crushed when her brother loses her tuition money. The tuition for her means more than money, its her future. She is devastated when she finds out that Walter lost the money. She states "Well...we are dead now. All the talk about dreams and sunlight that goes on in this house. It’s all dead now.” P. 143  The poem shows Benita passion for becoming a doctor and the life that she wants her herself. ]]> 2019-01-15 18:42:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/320931630 post 6 ksears78 https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/320931707 I'm repping for the girls

BENEATHA. That was what one person could do for another, fix him up – sew up the problem, make him all right again. That was the most marvelous thing in the world…I wanted to do that. 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. This was truly being God…I wanted to cure. It used to be so important to me. I wanted to cure. It used to matter. I used to care. I mean about people and how their bodies hurt…(3.1.14) ]]> 2019-01-15 18:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/320931763 post 8 ksears78 https://padlet.com/ksears78/tsafruawcvpw/wish/320931845 Gender and feminism is a big topic in The raisin in the Sun.   
  • To Asagai after Walter loses the money:  “While I was sleeping in that bed there, people went and took the future right out of my hands! And nobody asked me, nobody consulted me – they just went out and changed my life!”
Beneatha is speaking to Asagai and telling him that her future "was taken right out of my hands!"  She understands that her future was riding on her mom paying her college tuition and that Walter just took it.  She talks about how nobody consulted her, nobody asked her. Her mother decided to give Walter the money, even though he doesn't have a good plan and is not good with money. Beneatha is upset because her mother didn't discuss this with her, she just handed Walter Beneathas' college money and future for him to mess up with a bad investment. Beneatha seems very sad and powerless when she says that "they just went out and changed my life!" She understands that her mother choose her brothers crazy liquor store idea over her years of hard work because he is a man.
