A RAISIN in the SUN SYMBOLS and THEMES
    Life back in South Side Chicago was segregated.South Side Chicago was not easy to live in the 1950's.The play"A RAISIN in the SUN" displays racism. "A RAISIN in the sun" is set in South Side of Chicago; The apartment wererun down and cheaply built. This was place that black peoplecould call home without being kicked around.This essay is about the is about the symbols in " A RAISIN in the SUN". Three symbols i found were the plant, the new baby,and Mr.Lindner. 

       The first symbol is the plant;the plant is a symbol  because is shows the struggles the Younger's are having living in South SIde Chicago. The plant needs sunlight to live, but not a lot of sunlight to live, but not a lot of it comes in too provided for the plant to live.The plant is holding on day byday with thelittle sunlighthas.The Younger's do not have a lot. just like the plant,but they moveon day by day. The Younger's area family full ofdreams that get deferred.

        The second symbol is the baby. The baby is a symbol because it shows the new life the Younger's are given in the play. The new life is givien when Lena Younger(Mama) get the insurance check she got when her husbandpassed. With this money, she went out and bought a house outside of South Side. The new house is for Travis when he becomes amna. The house is located in an all white communlty called Cledurne Park. Lena descrides the house as a three bed room one bathroom.The yard is big enough for travis to play and a place to grow her own garden.

      The third symbol is Mr.Lindner: Mr.Linderner is a symbol because he represented the tset. The test was for Walter to finally to finally to take over and become a man, not to except money fromMr.Lindner to show Travis (Walter som) what's right. Walter was going for the money until mama told him to do the deal in front of travis.The reason MrLindner was the test because Walter's dream had gotten crushed when he gave his fathers insurance money to Mr. Willie Harrison to invest in aliqor store that never happened Mama felt like it was time for hi, to face the facts that the money was gone. Walter stnads up and tells Travis to come here and tellMr.Lindne that he did not want his money and they will be moving into their house and they will be the best neighbos they can be.
        
       The author of A RAISIN in the SUN is Lonaine Hansberry. She wrote this genre because her family tried to move into an all white neighborhood.She wrote this play because she wanted everyone to to know how it was to live in aplace that was segregated."A RAISIN in the SUN" had a lot of symbols that are clearly shown throughout the play. Three symbols that stand out to me are the plant, the new baby, and Mr.Lindner.These symbols stand out to me because they are clearlyshown.Hansberry made it easy to get a good picture in my head and it felt like I was really staying in the apartment with them. The struggles, the new llife, and the test played a big part in this play.It made the genre good from start to end

Tom walker and the Devil

What I can infer about "The Devil and Tom Walker is that Old Scratch is the guise for the Devil, who appears in "The Devil and Tom Walker''. The Old Scratch was describe as a dark-skinned man he also has deep red eyes, wears a red sash, and carries his axe on his shoulder.He was also the one who tempts Tom Walker with the proposition of wealth,He rides a horse through the swamp where they made their bargain.He was dressed in a rude, half Indian garb, and had a red belt.His face was neither black or copper colour. I am kinda using both direct and indirect characterization because I heard that he had red eyes and carried an axe I said that's not normal so I called him the devil.  and kinda thought he would have something to do with the Devil 
 


I can infer that Tom Walker is  protagonist of this story because his name is said in the title"
Tom Walker and the Devil".Tom walker was discribe as lonely guy. Tom Walker turn down Old Scratch's offer, but he eventually gives into the Devil's condition with his own conditions. I am using direct characterization because the arthor tells me this in the story.
 


i can infer about Toms Wlakers wife is thatshe is wife of Tom Walker and she was tall and she was fierce of temper. Her name was never given in the story, she had a big mouth.She often fussed with her husband She loved to fuss with her husband Yom Walker she had a strong arm, and sometime showed signs of their conflict .I am using direct characterization because the author tells me in the story..

THEMES

My theme is Scooby-doo and the theme is live can throw you mystery but there are ways to solve them.I chose this as a theme because you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow or later in life.Other theme is being showed is don't be scared to take rise that could led to be the right move. From over the years of watching Scooby and the gang solve mystery's I seen things could ledbeing to wrong or just all right or all wrong.I feel that the author made the movie to show kids that life is not easy it can led to good and bad things in life. The moral of the is don't mystery's stop you from doing what you want to life.
