The play focuses on a black family struggling to achieve the American Dream in the Chicago area. The family is a family of 5 that lives in a small apartment. The family doesn't make their way up to a house until they get a life insurance check. Ruth and Walter Lee worked the most hours to get the American Dream, yet in the end they still don't have a car or money for Beneatha's or Travis's education. Through this, we can see that hard work can sometimes only get a portion of what we call the American Dream.]]> 2018-04-21 23:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254088177 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254088751 49.2 percent of all Americans are receiving benefits from at least one government program?!]]> 2018-04-21 23:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254088751 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254088860 Student loans are up a whopping 61 percent and Consumer credit has risen by 22%.]]> 2018-04-21 23:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254088860 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254089572 The gap between the "Rich" and the "Poor" is at an all time high and keeps growing.]]> 2018-04-21 23:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254089572 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254089718 Redlining has made opportunity for minorities minimal in terms of home loans and the whole American Dream.]]> 2018-04-21 23:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254089718 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254089947 "Only 58 percent of Americans born into the bottom fifth of income earners move out of that category, and just 6 percent born into the bottom fifth move into the top".]]> 2018-04-21 23:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254089947 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254090550 Only 47% of adult Americans have a full-time job.]]> 2018-04-22 00:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254090550 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254091603 2018-04-22 00:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254091603 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254091706 What our Founding Fathers made for American citizens.]]> 2018-04-22 00:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254091706 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254214995 2018-04-23 01:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254214995 zacharydia2904 https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254215082 2018-04-23 01:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/zacharydia2904/wmaay5l0a6v2/wish/254215082
