Question 6
LORRAINE HANSBERRY: A Raisin in the Sun
To what extent is money the root of the Younger family’s problems?
Observation
Most candidates only pointed out the family's weakness as a result of lack of money and their overdependence on insurance.
Candidates were expected to discuss:
- The central theme of the text
- The struggle of the Younger family to break free of class and race barriers
- Their plans to get a better apartment in a good neighborhood
- Beneatha's dream of becoming a medical doctor; Walter's aspiration of owning a liquor store.
Candidates’ performance in this question was fair
