Read the passage from a raisin in the sun. mama: lord have mercy, baby. you done gone and bought your grandmother a hat? travis (very proud): open it! she does and lifts out an elaborate, but very elaborate, wide gardening hat, and all the adults break up at the sight of it. ruth: travis, honey, what is that? travis (who thinks it is beautiful and appropriate): it's a gardening hat! like the ladies always have on in the magazines when they work in their gardens. beneatha (giggling fiercely): travis—we were trying to make mama mrs. miniver—not scarlett o'hara! mama (indignantly): what's the matter with you all! this here is a beautiful hat! (absurdly.) i always wanted me one just like it! which word or phrase from the text best supports the idea that the adults think the hat is inappropriate? “have mercy” (giggling fiercely) (indignantly) “what’s the matter”

Read the following excerpt from the ending of lorraine hansberry's a raisin in the sun: walter (a beat. the tension hangs; then walter steps back from it) yeah. well — what i mean is that we come from people who had a lot of pride. i mean — we are very proud people. and that's my sister over there and she's going to be a doctor — and we are very proud — lindner well — i am sure that is very nice, but — walter what i am telling you is that we called you over here to tell you that we are very proud and that this — (signaling to travis) travis, come here. (travis crosses and walter draws him before him facing the man) this is my son, and he makes the sixth generation our family in this country. and we have all thought about your offer — lindner well, good . . good — walter and we have decided to move into our house because my father — my father — he earned it for us brick by brick. (mama has her eyes closed and is rocking back and forth as though she were in church, with her head nodding the amen yes) we don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no causes, and we will try to be good neighbors. and that's all we got to say about that. (he looks the man absolutely in the eyes) we don't want your money. (he turns and walks away) lindner (looking around at all of them) i take it then — that you have decided to occupy . . beneatha that's what the man said. lindner (to mama in her reverie) then i would like to appeal to you, mrs. younger. you are older and wiser and understand things better i am sure . . mama i am afraid you don't understand. my son said we was going to move and there ain't nothing left for me to say. (briskly) you know how these young folks is nowadays, mister. can't do a thing with 'em! (as he opens his mouth, she rises) good-bye. lindner (folding up his materials) well — if you are that final about it . . there is nothing left for me to say. (he finishes, almost ignored by the family, who are concentrating on walter lee. at the door lindner halts and looks around) i sure hope you people know what you're getting into. identify two themes that are clearly developed in this excerpt. how does the author develop the two themes over the course of this excerpt? be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.

(absurdly.) i always wanted me one just like it! she pops it on her head to prove it to her grandson, and the hat is ludicrous and considerably oversized. ruth: hot dog! go, mama! walter (doubled over with laughter): i'm sorry, mama—but you look like you ready to go out and chop you some cotton sure enough! they all laugh except mama, out of deference to travis’s feelings. mama (gathering the boy up to her): bless your heart—this is the prettiest hat i ever owned— how would the tone change if the word sarcastically replaced the stage direction absurdly? mama would be mocking the hat and travis’s gift instead of saying that she is with his gesture. mama would be showing her displeasure about the gardening hat to the other adults, but not to travis. mama would be travis sincerely for a gift that she was delighted to receive. mama would be playfully teasing travis as she him for the gift she receive
