1. Its all about the work intended for men and women.
2. No. There should be equality and freedom in each one of us. If we keep thinking that
way, this world will never turn the way we want to see it. In order to attain a better world,
women and men must share roles and learn to be in harmony with each other.
3. Yes. Always with my sister. Because we agreed that she will do all the house chores and
I will help my father in our farm.
4. Sometimes, labeling helps in remembering a person especially if he/she has qualities or
traits that are different from the other people. Other times, a person may tease or even
bully their victim just because he is different in personality, culture, race or even religion.
This is partiality and so is bias.
5. For me no, we all know that a biased person favors only one side meaning he or she
believes only on one side. Yes, everyone has a bias. Some bias are good but some are not.
But the choice are in our hands, so better take care of it well.

My Learning Log
Prejudice – an opinion against a group or an individual based on insufficient facts and usually
unfavourable and/or intolerant. Bias – very similar to but not as extreme as prejudice. Someone
who is biased usually refuses to accept that there are other views than their own.

1. Pictures tell me that women need to pack more things than men because the women do not
only pack for herself but for her family to. Also, women pack more things than man because
women have a lot more things needed than man. Yes, I agree to this simply because women have
a lot more necessities needed than a man.
2 This picture is showing me 3 men looking at the women. For me this picture shows the men
judging the woman because it is most likely for a man to go to work instead of a woman. It is
known in this society that women are most likely to work as a house wife and a man goes to
work but a woman is free to choose on what she likes.
 Determine the Relevance and the Truthfulness of the Ideas Presented in the Material Viewed
Activity 1

1. Mama is Walter and Beneatha’s sensitive mother and the head of the Younger household.
She demands that members of her family respect themselves and take pride in their
dreams. Mama requires that the apartment in which they live always be neat and
polished. She stands up for her beliefs and provides perspective from an older generation.
She believes in striving to succeed while maintaining her moral boundaries; she rejects
Beneatha’s progressive and seemingly un-Christian sentiments about God, and Ruth’s
consideration of an abortion disappoints her. Similarly, when Walter comes to her with
his idea to invest in the liquor store venture, she condemns the idea and explains that she
will not participate in such un-Christian business. Money is only a means to an end for
Mama; dreams are more important to her than material wealth, and her dream is to own a
house with a garden and yard in which Travis can play.

Mama is the most nurturing character in the play, and she constantly reminds
Walter that all she has ever wanted is to make her children happy and provide for them.
She cares deeply for Walter and shows this care by giving him the remaining insurance
money. She cares deeply for Ruth as well, consoling her when Walter ignores her. Mama
respects Beneatha’s assessment of George Murchison as being arrogant and self-centered,
telling her daughter not to waste time with such a “fool.” Mama loves Travis, her
grandchild, and hopes their new house will have a big yard in which he can play. She is
also very fond, though in a different way, of her plant, which she tries to nurture
throughout the play.

2. Mama dreams of moving her family out of the ghetto and into a house with a yard where
children can play and she can tend a garden. Her dream has been deferred since she and
her husband moved into the apartment that the Youngers still inhabit. Every day, her
dream provides her with an incentive to make money. But no matter how much she and
her husband strived, they could not scrape together enough money to make their dream a
reality. His death and the resulting insurance money present Mama’s first opportunity to
realize her dream.

Ruth’s dream is similar to Mama’s. She wants to build a happy family and believes one
step toward this goal is to own a bigger and better place to live. Ruth’s dream is also
deferred by a lack of money, which forces her and Walter to live in a crowded apartment
where their son, Travis, must sleep on a sofa.
 Beneatha’s dream is to become a doctor and to save her race from ignorance. The first
part of her dream may be deferred because of the money Walter loses. Her dream is also
one deferred for all women. Beneatha lives in a time when society expects women to
build homes rather than careers. As for saving her race from ignorance, Beneatha
believes she can make people understand through action, but the exact course she chooses
remains unclear at the end of the play.

Walter dreams of becoming wealthy and providing for his family as the rich people he
drives around do. He often frames this dream in terms of his family—he wants to give
them what he has never had. He feels like a slave to his family’s economic hardship. His
dream has been deferred by his poverty and inability to find decent employment. He
attributes his lack of job prospects to racism, a claim that may be partially true but that is
also a crutch. Over the course of the play, his understanding of his dream of gaining
material wealth evolves, and by play’s end, it is no longer his top priority.

3. In the story of A Raisin in the Sun, Walter Lee, the only son of the Mom in the story,
wanted to use the insurance money to invest in a liquor store with his friends. He thinks
that investment is the solution to end the family's financial problems.
But keep in mind that all family members wanted different things from the insurance
check which cost $10,000, an amount that is really worth a bunch for the family back
then.  
For once, Mom, wanted to buy a house. It was something that she and her husband have
dreamt of a long time ago. Ruth, Walter's wife, agrees with Mom she just wants a bigger
space for their son. On the other hand, aside from what Walter wanted, the only daughter,
Beneatha wanted to use the money for her medical school tuition.  
The story was set in the aftermath of World War II and is centered in the story of the
Younger family who received an insurance check from the late Mr. Younger. And while
the family is fighting with each other on what to do with the insurance check, the family
were also in the war against racism in the slums of Chicago.  
An example of this when Mom wanted to purchase and move to Clybourne Park and be
with the whites but the whites then have been oppressive that they had to almost bribe
them in order to cancel their decision to move in to the community - a clear example of
racism
4. Mama reminds me of someone and that someone is also my mom. My mom wanted to
have a big house too where we can all live comfortably but unluckily she cannot afford a
new and bigger house for us. So, she decided to work harder by extending hours of work
and removing some of her favorite pastimes including shopping and watching movies.
 She tries everything just to save for that big house she wanted the family to have. Aside
from that, she also tried investing some of her earnings in a small business so that she
will have an additional income too. She also tries persuading us to save in any way so
that the money spent will always be justifiable. She shares with us her plan but of course
the realization of her dream will still be surprise since we do not know when will it
happen. I do not have an idea on how much should she still earns in order to acquire the
house she wanted us to have. Right now, what important is for her to earn and save just
like mama in the story who kept on planting until such time that she had received the
money that enables her to buy the house belonging to the white community that makes a
huge difference in their lives as a family.
5. Yes. The dreams of our family should also be our dreams because we all know that our
family will always aspire for what is good for us and the welfare of our family. As a
family we should set up the same goal because in everything that we do, aside from
ourselves, our families would be mostly affected by our decisions and aspirations.

Activity 2.

Walter Your Response

“Yeah. You see, this little liquor store we got
in mind cost seventy-five thousand and we
figured the initial investment on the place be
about thirty thousand, see. That be ten
thousand each”
I think Walter wants to be his own boss and he sees
Mama’s insurance check as a way to get started in his own
liquor business with his friends. It seems like it should be
realistic for Walter to open a liquor store. Its’s not like he’s
thinking about becoming a stockbroker on Wall Street.
One obstacle that seems clear already is that his wife,
Ruth, doesn’t seem to support him on this. She thinks he
might be getting involved with some shady business
partners. Walter seems to know his own mind, though, so
maybe he will be successful.

Mama

“We was going to set away, little by little,
don’t you know and buy a little place out in
Morgan Park. We even picked out the house.
Looks right dummy today. But Lord, child,
you should know all the dreams I had about
buying that house and fixing it up and making
me a little garden in the back. And didn’t none
of it happen.
Activity 3
Mamas dream seems pretty simple-she wants a house with
a little garden. I think most people would want that. Her
dream doesn’t seem outrageous. I guess it might be hard
for African Americans to find a house to buy during this
time, especially if they want to move out of the city and
into the suburbs. But it seems like if you have enough
money, you should be able to buy a house wherever you
want. Money talk, right? Mama’s insurance money is just
as green as the next person’s.
Want/Need/Desire
(Specific Evidence)
-Example for Walter. Wants to show his son that he can support him-gives him $ for
school/fruit/taxi.
Conflict/Challenge/Obstacle
(Specific Evidence)
-Ruth is worried about money, doesn’t seem to trust Walter.
Big Idea/What This could Mean-
(Your general idea)
- Men have lots of financial pressures. It’s important to look like you have $$$.

Title of the Play:
“The Raisin in the Sun.”
Name of the playwright:
Lorraine Hansberry was born on May 19, 1930 in Chicago, Illinois. Hansberry grew up with a
keen awareness of African-American history and the ongoing struggle for civil rights. She was
the first black playwright to create realistic portraits of African-American life. One of her first
play and one of the best known works of her, “A Raisin in the Sun”, a play about a struggling
black family, making her the first youngest African-American to win a New York Critics Circle
award to have a play in Broadway. Her journey in playwriting ended in January 12, 1965 when
she was diagnosed to pancreatic cancer. Hansberry also wrote The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s
Window, Les Blancs, and To Be Young, Gifted and Black, as well as the posthumously
published works To Be Young, Gifted and Black: An Informal Autobiography, Lorraine
Hansberry: The Collected Last Plays, and The Movement.
Background of the playwright:
A Raisin in the Sun has become a landmark in American literature and drama. First produced in
1959 when Hansberry was only 29 years old, it won the Best Play Award of the New York
Drama Critics. It has since been adapted for film, television, and musical theater, and has been
performed thousands of times around the United States, as well as on stages around the world in
over 30 languages.
When A Raisin in the Sun opened in March 1959, it met with great praise from white and black
audience members alike. Hansberry used her new fame to help bring attention to the American
civil rights movement as well as African struggles for independence from colonialism. A Raisin
in the Sun can be considered a turning point in American art because it addresses so many issues
important during the 1950s in the United States. The 1950s are widely mocked in modern times
as an age of complacency and conformism, symbolized by the growth of suburbs and
commercial culture that began in that decade.
Discuss how a play differs from other literary forms:
What makes it different from other literary forms is that in a way that the play is composed of a
dramatic genre that discusses many life issues and circumstances that is present in the time when
the dramatist wrote the play. If we may take a look at the play, it may be simple but all behinds
those simple conversations and issues depicted in the play has a deep meaning behind it. What
makes it amazing is that the play is written by the dramatist based on her experiences. The black
people of her time face racial challenges, stereotyping and social status which comprises the
beauty of the play. She took every chance to be a revolutionary not just in everyday life but also
in her literary works. She is able to the deal with the issues of racism and discrimination while
maintaining a thoughtful story about a family, race and struggling against poverty. She was able
to mark a legacy out from her literary works like A Raisin in the Sun which reveals a
significance context as a lasting literary social criticism
Reflection
What I have learned in this activity: At the heart of Hansberry's 'A Raisin in the Sun' is the
universal message of the desire for social progress amid the differing opinions on how to achieve
it. A Raisin in the Sun is a play about an African American family aspiring to move beyond
segregation and disenfranchisement in 1950s Chicago.

2. “Being proactive” is the best way to approach any challenge in life. With the COVID-19
pandemic, proactive steps will save lives. Since doctors don’t yet have a cure, proactive
preventive steps are the best available strategy. 
3. Yes. All the idea is valid and I do really experience and encounter those problems.
What I have learned in this activity
Everything can end tomorrow. Focus on what is important to us. When all this is over,
Earth will continue to spin, and life will flow again. The question is whether by then we will
have learned our lesson. Let us be mindful of our Earth and it will be kind to us. There is no
rainbow without rain. Remember that.

Alternating Method
Thesis: Worlds’ most deadly global pandemic-Spanish Flu and Covid-19.
Point 1:
Spanish Flu: The Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 influenza pandemic, was an unusually
deadly influenza pandemic caused by the H1N1 influenza A virus. Lasting from February 1918
to April 1920, it infected 500 million people – about a third of the world's population at the time
– in four successive waves.
Covid-19: The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated
when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the
air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces. You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are
within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface
and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
Point 2:
Spanish Flu: Range of symptoms that can last weeks or months after first being infected with the
virus that causes COVID-19 or can appear weeks after infection. Long COVID can happen to
anyone who has had COVID-19, even if their illness was mild, or if they had no symptoms.

Covid-19: Most people who get flu will recover on their own in a few days to two weeks, but
some people will experience severe complications, requiring hospitalization. Some of these
complications are listed above. Secondary bacterial infections are more common with influenza
than with COVID-19. Diarrhea is more common in young children with flu than in adults with
flu.
Point 3:
Spanish flu: Most people with flu are contagious for about 1 day before they show symptoms.
Older children and adults with flu appear to be most contagious during the initial 3-4 days of
their illness but many people remain contagious for about 7 days. Infants and people with
weakened immune systems can be contagious for even longer.

Covid 19: It’s possible for people to spread the virus for about 2 days before experiencing signs
or symptoms (or possibly earlier) and remain contagious for at least 10 days after signs or
symptoms first appeared. If someone is asymptomatic or their symptoms go away, it’s possible
to remain contagious for at least 10 days after testing positive for COVID-19. People who are
hospitalized with severe disease and people with weakened immune systems can be contagious
for 20 days or longer
