Question 6

     

    LORRAINE HANSBERRY: A Raisin in the Sun

    Discuss the living conditions of the Younger family.


Observation

 

A good number of candidates attempted this question. Many of them discussed what they thought were the challenges of modern young families not realising ‘Younger’ is the family name of characters in the play.

 

* The composition of the Younger family.

* The matriarchal role of Mama.

* The general living conditions of the family.

* The effect of these conditions on the expectations of members of the family.

* The collective desire for change.

 

Few candidates attempted this question and the performance was poor.
