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
