Mehul Patel Block 8 3/18/15 Reflection In Act II Scene II of Raisin in the Sun, many director style choices were made throughout the process of this reenactment. Personally, for my character; Walter, I chose to modify my voice to what was being expressed by the character and by the plot that was evolving around him. When he initially arrives into the scene he has a very depressed, melancholy tone due to the fact that nothing was going right for him in his life including his job, his family, and his finances. But after Mama turns over the remaining money over to Walter, the tone in his voice changes into a more excited and enthusiastic state. And when he talks to his son, Travis, he displays a mood of confidence and a dream like flow to his voice and dialogue. As a group, we decided to cut out Mrs. Johnson from the reenactment because although she in influential to the audience by providing an outside perspective onto the family, she plays no role in modifying the plot, so with or without her, the plot follows it’s natural course. Although she views the Youngers as a family who is trying to venture the beaten path she sides to both sides of the argument. She encourages the trait that the Younger family is independent and seeks a better life, but also discourages the idea of the Younger’s pursuing that better life by moving into the strictly white neighborhood. All in all, a varied amount of choices were made in order to create our personal view on this play by Lorraine Hansberry, and specifically on how we viewed the characters who were focused on at another level within Act II Scene
