Ihave a reading assignment for the story raisin in the sun. i need to write a reflection for the following prompts, each reflection needs to be between 100 and 150 words. preferably done by may 27th, although i may get an extension on that deadline. the conflicts of this play occur between ages, between sexes, and between generations. analyze how generational gaps cause tension in this play. use examples of some conflicts that arise from an older generation not understanding the ways of a younger generation, or vise-versa. how does this conflict contribute to the overall drama of the play? reflect on mama's line, "they frightens me, ruth. my children." look at the situation from everyone's perspective. do you think that mama has a reason to "fear" her children, or what her children are becoming? or is she simply overreacting, or perhaps behind in the times?
