A Raisin in the Sun It is often

claimed that America allows all citizens to be equal disregard their race , ethnicity , skin color or language . I think that the nation should strive to achieve this nice ideal , though I see that reality is still the other one - cruel and bitter for people whose skin isn 't white . The cold truth is that racial discrimination inflicts society . Actually , the film "A Raisin in the Sun " tells the story of such African American family who has to fight constantly to prove that there are equal and deserve better living . The film was firstly released in 1961 and was directed by Daniel Petrie who managed to achieve the desired outcome - he made people think of the problem and try to find solution .

He always claims that the world provides him with few opportunities , though he deserves more from life . He is rather ambitious and intelligent , though he is often impulsive and inpatient . Ruth , Walter 's wife is laundry-woman trying to make ends and to raise her son . Ruth is emotionally strong women and , despite poverty and family misunderstanding , she tries to fight for her marriage and better life . It is her pragmatism that helps to survive . Beneatha is Lena 's younger daughter who is a college student . Being intellectual and clever young lady she is interested in identifying her cultural roots . She is not so conservative as Lena and her values and beliefs differs dramatically from mother 's . She is ready to struggle to prove that she is a well-educated doctor , not simply African American woman . Beneatha is encouraged by her friend...
