In the fifties, many young couples sought to fulfill the American Dream: owning a home in the suburbs. While many families were able to save money easily and successfully fulfill their dreams, others were not so fortunate. The play "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry chronicles the story of an African American family as they seek their dreams and the trials they face in doing so. Adding deeper meaning to the play is the contrast between the apartment in which they currently live and their dream home: one representing oppression and the other freedom. The differences between the Younger's home and the one they buy are vast, as is their attitude towards these places. The apartment is very small, consisting of just three rooms. The carpet and furniture are extremely worn. There is only one small window, that lets in a minimal amount of light where Mama's plant barely gets enough sun to grow.
