When she straightens her hair, it shows how she is embracing American culture, and when she cuts it short and lets it get natural, she is embracing her African heritage.

headdress. Her hair is close-cropped and un-straightened." pg 82]]> 2021-05-06 20:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/12243251/xvul44hj6hbdsgcq/wish/1500159791 12243251 https://padlet.com/12243251/xvul44hj6hbdsgcq/wish/1500187503 Beneatha is characterized woman who takes pride in becoming successful. She is very motivated in life and wants to achieve her dream at becoming a doctor.

However, when it comes to dating, she is very dependent on her boyfriend to help her determine her identity. For example, when her boyfriend Asagai told her about keeping her hair natural, she listened and cut it all off.
"How can something that’s natural be eccentric?" pg 82 ]]> 2021-05-06 21:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/12243251/xvul44hj6hbdsgcq/wish/1500196727 12243251 https://padlet.com/12243251/xvul44hj6hbdsgcq/wish/1500206031 Beneatha is very opinionated and is not afraid to speak her mind. When she believes something is not right, she voices her opinion and can raise her voice easily. This is a great characteristic in her society because it helps her stand up for herself. 
"There simply is no blasted God—there is only man and it is he who makes miracles!" pg 53

So far in the play, we have seen her stand up for what she believes in and she is appreciative for her opportunity to be a black woman in school to become a doctor. She is also interested and interested in politics and civil rights. 
"Then go be a nurse like other women or just get married and be
quiet" pg 41
