BOOK ANALYSIS: A RAISIN IN THE SUN
The main caracter of A Raisin in the Sun is Ruth Younger.
She is the wife of Walter Lee Younger and mother of Travis
Younger. She is a nice mother, but sometimes could get into a
bad mood where she takes everything out on everyone,
especially Travis. One of the reasons for her bad moods is
because her and her families lack of money. She knew she had a
responsible position in the family. That's why she cared so much
and worked as hard as she could to earn the money they needed.
She wished her husband would take work as seriously as she did
instead of cutting work and not caring if he got there on time.
Ruth was so worried about her family that when she became
pregnant with her second child, she wanted to give up their baby
because she felt that the child would grow up without enough
food and they wouldn't have enough money to care for the baby.
The resolution of this conflict makes her understand that a loving
family was a lot more important than money. She now knew that
you didn't need money to have a wonderful, caring, loving family.
She was happy when she found out they were moving to a new
house, but even though they decided not to in the end, she was
happy with her and her families decision not to move and to stay
in the cheerful house where they had been living for years.
