Realistic vs. Nonrealistic- A Raisin in the Sun
I thought that this play employed mostly realistic conventions. The dynamics of the family are realistic in that the family is not perfect and they fight often. The dialogue between them is realistic for the financial situation they have been put in. Their dreams of a better life and the eventual failure in achieving some of these dreams is also realistic. People will often be disappointed in their dreams just as Walter was with the liquor store and Benethea was with her dream of going to medical school. The dangers that the Younger's face because of racism and struggling equal rights are also realistic for the time they lived in. African American families were still fighting for their rights and were treated just as the Younger family was. In the end, the play was extremely realistic and their were little to none nonrealistic parts.
