Does money control today's society? The Younger family is an African American family in Chicago in the 1950s. The family lives in a small and ratty one window apartment. They are an “average” family who receives the proceeds from a $10,000 life insurance policy from the death of Walter Lee Sr. Everyone in the family has their own idea of what they want to do with the money, if it was up to one of them.

Throughout 1786 and 1787, Shays' Rebellion, a series of protests by American farmers against local enforcement, spread through South Carolina, Maine, Connecticut, New York and New Hampshire, but nowhere were the protests as strong as in Massachusetts. Massachusetts got the worst of the Rebellion because they had bad harvests, economic depression, new laws, West Indies trade, and high taxes due to Revolutionary War debts. Shays' Rebellion was led by a former Captain of the Continental Army, named Daniel Shays.

Prologue: A Revolutionary People 1. What sorts of resistance to government occurred in Massachusetts in the 1770s? Compare this activity to the actions of the Massachusetts Regulators in 1786-87. In what ways are they similar? In what ways do they differ?

What is being attempted in the play is simply the Youngers as an African American family trying to make it day by day. The dreams are real, but the

Exposition : The Younger family has recently lost their head of the family, Mama’s husband, and are going to be given 10,000$ from their insurance. They are an African American family in the working class that lives on the South side of Chicago and struggling with financial difficulties.

The Colonists’ rebellion The early Americans desired independence, yet Britain relentlessly exerted their power and limited the colonists freedoms. They were unjustly taxed, their trade was restricted, they had no representation in parliament, yet still had to follow the laws established, and they were increasingly controlled. The colonists absolutely had a legitimate cause to rebel against British rule. First of all, the early Americans were unfairly taxed by Britain.

The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion." Frederick Douglass. This powerful quote by Douglas explains how, in society, there is a reason when people rebel or retaliate. Instead of viewing the person or group as wrong, we need to figure out the cause or motive of the action and potentially fix it. In the United States, there are a few societal expectations, such as attending higher education, respecting authority, embracing diversity and equality, etc.

* Empathy for African American children and their parents who have to enforce the unfair rules (para 4): “his father or mother slaps him and drags him to the back of the bus”

In A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, the Younger family is trying to achieve the American Dream, which is “the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American”(cite dictionary.com). The Youngers are a black family living in a poor part of Chicago. They inherit ten thousand dollars because Mama’s husband died. Mama is the matriarch of the Younger family. Each family member has their own idea about how to use this money to fulfill their dreams, and the play uses the decisions of the family members and other characters to show the reader that people’s actions are not always motivated by what they appear to be. Mama wants to use the money to buy a house in a white neighborhood, because she thinks it is a better environment for her family than their current living conditions and will benefit her family. Although there are a number of people in A Raisin in the Sun who appear too want to help the Younger family, Mama shows through her decision to buy the house that she is the only person that is looking out for the best interests of her family.

It was a common fear among the African-Americans. The Younger Family knew that the discrimination would hold them back from their dreams and goals, but because they believe in prosperity and pride, that was the last thing on their mind. The “want” in their spirits, is what sets them at place of tranquility and hope. “In fact, here’s another fifty cents… buy yourself some fruit today - or take a taxicab to school or something! (1.1.1840) Walter is letting his son know that there is no problem when it comes to their economic status. One of the difficulties that the adults faced was their self-righteousness. The discrimination was really enabled when it came to anything in their life. Whether it be buying certain houses, jobs, or even sitting in a restaurant, it was something so common; they learned that it is far more important for their child to know how to live with no fear and worrisome in life. When it came to Walter, he knew that keeping the innocence in Travis’ life was the right thing to do, where for Ruth she was far more upright. The self-doubt they displayed was becoming a burden in their lives, but that transformation and growth is what helped them come to a better understanding of themselves. The Younger Family’s moral development would be their sense of pride, and Mama’s destiny was to continue that pride. Mama’s development within herself had grown to great measures, but when it came to her

William Butler Yeats's poems "Easter 1916" and "The Second Coming" each portray the theme of rebellion. However, rebellion is not always heroic and these two poems clash with one another to prove this point. "Easter 1916" contains text which presents rebellion as a positive action; whereas, "The Second Coming" makes the reader believe rebellion only leads to pure chaos and disorder until the end of time. In addition, Claude McKay's poem "If We Must Die" supports the idea of rebellion as a positive, honorable movement with examples throughout the text. Tales of rebelliousness and heroism have been used throughout history to inspire and give

In life there are many situations where rebellion is required for change and improvement. Some are simple, like growing up and learning not to do certain things and others are more complex like when a group of people stand up for what they believe, for example, women’s rights and black’s rights. I believe that rebellion is healthy for any growing society. There are many things that we do not agree with, whether it is the law or our parent’s instructions. By rebelling we can change our society and/or ourselves for better.

The Younger family is a black family that struggles to gain middle class acceptance. When the play opens, Mama, who is the mother of the Younger family, is waiting for a $10,000 life insurance check from the death of her husband. Walter Lee Younger who is the son of Mama, shows signs of disappointment with his current living conditions “I got a boy who sleeps in the living room… and all I got to give him is stories about how rich white people live…”(1477). Walter was desperate to attain a better live for their growing family that he
