4. In my life, of the way I appeared, I've been continually bullied. Nobody in my life said I'm enough to be
loved or taken care of. I constantly wonder why individuals continue to make others feel uncomfortable
about their body, they find it so humorous. I'm still insecure about the way I look. I started eating
vegetables to get in shape, but as time passed, I realized that fitness should never be a requirement
simply because others make you feel bad. You will be laughed at, regardless of how much you adore or
prioritize. Don't live for them, for God has chosen you to be just like this in one life. Continue to preach
love instead of hatred.

what I’ve learned

bias is simply a preference. It is not motivated by fear or hatred.
Prejudice is not based on evidence.. If someone claims “Mexicans are rapists”, “blacks are criminals”,
“Muslim’s are terrorists” or “gays are destroying traditional families” then that is prejudice.
We are mortal and weak. It is possible that we will be injured or killed. In a world with limited resources,
we must also compete for survival. All of this adds up to the reality that fear and insecurity are our
default training as humans — our default emotion.
We must first acknowledge and then resist this level of thought and action from inside, to become
civilized and developed. In order to feel safe, the developed person neither requires consent nor
judgment from others. Until we reach this capacity for self-control.

activity 1.analyzing the play

1. Mama introduces her dream concept in her family by exhibiting a fantastic vision of a prosperous
existence.
2. Because of their indifference to their wants, needs, and desires, the members of the family have
different perspectives on their future. For Travis: a house, for Beneatha: to be a doctor, for Walter: a
business.
3. Walter and his friends Willy and Bobo want to open a liquor store. He begs his Mama Lena (Walter's
mother), but she refuses because she wants to buy a house in a safer area, such as Clybourne Park, and
she is completely opposed to the liquor business because she has seen how alcohol has harmed poor
people in their communities.
4. Mama (Lena Younger) is the character who reminds me that someone is also my mother. My mother,
too, desired a huge home in which we could all live comfortably, but due to her lack of a suitable work
and the fact that our family is growing, he is unable to provide us with a new and larger home.
5. There is no correct or incorrect response. The majority of parents, in my opinion, want to provide
their children with a genuine home, a backyard, safe streets, and decent schools. They want to give their
children a community where they can make friends and have a better life.

activy 3. Connecting character to theme!

Walter dreams for the liquor store. He wants to get ahead somehow, but Mama refuses to give him the
money to invest. Instead, she gets out and buys a house in an all-white neighborhood, which might be
dangerous. After Mama buys a house, she gives Walter the remaining $6,500 to put aside for Beneatha's
schooling. The Youngers are visited by a man named Karl Lindler, whom offers a significant amount of
money to stay out of neighborhood they refuse.

Bobo arrives at the apartment and tells Walter that Willy Harris took all of the money they gave him for
the liquor store plan and took off. Worse, Walter never put aside the $3,000 he was supposed to put
into the bank for Beneatha’s medical schooling

A Raisin in the Sun underlined the importance of never giving up on one's ambitions. The family's
dreams are always kept alive, and it brings them closer together. They can connect on a spiritual level
since they all have dreams. However, because they have different dreams, they are at odds.

Activity 5. Review, Analyze, Reflect! Directions: To review a play is to study, analyze and render a
rational judgement. You will be tasked to compose a simple play review. Consider the preliminaries of
the play, A Raisin in the Sun.
Title of the Play: “The Raisin in the Sun.”

Name of the Playwright: Lorraine Hansberry

Background of the Playwright: Lorraine was born in Chicago, Illinois, on May 19, 1930. Hansberry was
developed with a keen awareness about the history of African America and the ongoing civil rights
struggle. She was the first black writer to create realistic African-American portraits. One of her first
play, and one of her most well-known works, 'A Raisin in the Sun,' is a black-friendly play that has made
her the first youngest Afro-American to win a New York Critical Circle Award. She was diagnosed with
pancreatic cancer and finished her journey in playwright on January 12, 1965. Hansberry also wrote The
Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, Les Whites, and To Be Young, Gifted, and Black, and the works To Be
Young, Gifted, and Black, which were posthumously published, Lorraine Hansberry: Last Plays, and The
Movement.

Background of the Play: A Raisin in the Sun has established itself as a classic of American literature and
drama. It was first performed in 1959, when Hansberry was only 29 years old, and it won the New York
Drama Critics' Best Play Award. It has since been adapted for film, television, and musical theater, and
has been performed in over 30 languages thousands of times across the United States.

2. When a Raisin in the Sun was opened in March 1959, the audience was both white and black.
Hansberry used her new fame to bring the American civil rights movement and African fighting for
independence from colonialism to attention. A raisin in the sun can be seen in American art as a turning
point because it deals with so many important issues in the United States in the 1950s. In modern times,
the 1950s were widely mocked, symbolizing the growth of suburbs and commercial culture which had
begun over this decade, in an age of complacency and conformism.
Discuss how a play differs from other literary forms: The play is composed of a dramatic genre that
discusses many life issues and circumstances that is present in the time when the dramatist wrote the
play. The black people of her time face racial challenges, stereotyping and social status. She is able to
deal with the issues of racism and discrimination while maintaining a thoughtful story about a family.
She was able to mark a legacy out from her literary works like A Raisin in the Sun.

what I’ve learned

The struggle of a lower-class black family to acquire middle-class acceptance is the subject of this play.
Mama, the family's sixty-year-old mother, is waiting for a $10,000 insurance cheque from her husband's
death. Walter Lee Younger, his son, is so eager to provide for his growing family that he plans to spend
the entire insurance payout in a liquor store with two of his buddies. Mama's objections are mostly
ethical; she is adamantly opposed to the sale of alcoholic beverages. Minor quarrels arise as a result of
their differences. Mama decides to use part of the money as a down payment on a house in a white
neighborhood. Walter Lee invests it secretly in his liquor store scheme, believing that he will perhaps
quadruple his initial investment. One of Walter Lee's prospective business partners, however, runs off
with the money, a loss which tests the spiritual and psychological mettle of each family member. I’ve
learned the hard way that dreams are valuable and have a purpose. The importance of combating racial
discrimination, family is really important.

Exercise 2&3:
what I think: During the pandemic, I remember missing my friends/classmates from my prior life before
the virus. My school had ended early, exams had been canceled, and I hadn't have proper goodbye to
my friend and classmates. After  a while,  The truth of the situation began to sink in.

what I feel: I feel so much better. I have found strategies to tackle the stress. Take the time to review the
things you love and remember that it will all happen. All we can do right now is stay in the house and
look after ourselves and our loved ones.

what I do: I Started playing my pet s and learning new recipes. My family and I began to spend more
time together. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed them until they were gone.

6. What I can say about this activity is that it allowed me to express my emotions through sharing my
thoughts about pandemic.
7. It reminds me from suffering regular panic attacks, frozen on the floor in my room, unable to move or
speak. I had nightmares most nights, and struggled to sleep.
8.I realize that many people are spending more time outside and discarding trash everywhere, our
surroundings are cleaner than normal, and every location was overcrowded with so many people before
the pandemic began.

Exercise 4:
Problems: Being quarantined
what we can do: Many people have died as a result of the Corona virus. Classes urging students to stay
at home for their own protection may be difficult to adjust to at first. If you're bored and have nothing
to do, try changing your perspective to something more positive, such as spending time with your
family. You can use this time to enhance your skills.

Problems: Risk of contamination

what we can do: I will do everything in my way to reduce becoming ill self-isolate, I’ll wash my hands,
wear a mask whenever I go, and exercise social distancing.

Problems: Three hoarding and panic buying

what we can do: I’ll only buy the essential things and spend my money wisely because you've planned
this to avoid panic buying. Don't buy more than you need so there's no waste.

Problems: Everything being closed

what we can do: Stay at your own house. Many restaurants, clubs, and hotels, as well as most major
airports across the world, are closed, but there's no need to panic because the most critical places, such
as hospitals and groceries, are still open.

Problems: all the uncertainty

what we can do: It's important to maintain our body health. Regardless of the fact that you have no
control over the situation but you can control what you do in order to learn more about it, you should
seek out reliable sources of information. Take care of your health, according to news sources if you're
sick, take it easy and drink a lot of water, we can overcome the virus.

Exercise 5:

1. According to the speaker, the five common problems that we encounter during the pandemic are the
following: being quarantined, risk of contamination, hoarding and panic buying, everything being closed
and all the uncertainty.
2. We could establish a good mindset by diverting our attention away from the topic at present. We
might improve ourselves through music, the arts, and gardening.
3. It is critical that we do our part in the face of the coronavirus pandemic because it will relieve us of
the tension it causes, we will aid in the virus's containment, and we will still be alive.
What I’ve learned
The pandemic has really taught a sense of deep gratitude. I've learnt to have trust in my family and trust
isn't easy for me, especially when it comes to family, yet it made me realize just how much they do
love in order to keep me safe.
