Dolores signs herself up for college - something her mother always wanted her to do. "This was what my mother had wanted for me: a Tricia Nixon life. I'd create one for her, a gift. Maybe I'd lose weight. Or maybe Kippy was fat, too.
For instance, she was expecting a check from the insurance company for the death of her husband. She already knew how she intended to spend the money. The plan was to put away some of that for her daughter Beneatha, for school; she emphasized that a bit in the story. Mama’s words were, “Some of it got to be put away for Beneatha and her schoolin’-and aint nothing going to touch that part.” She then went on to say that she was going to purchase a house not just for her, but for the entire family to live in. Then when Ruth found out that she was pregnant, Mama thought of the things that she could buy if it was a girl or boy, she even thought about the size of the yard for the grandchildren to play in.
Mama in particular wanted a house big enough for the whole family to live comfortably especially her grandson Travis who slept on the couch due to the fact that there were not enough beds in the house for him to have his own. Beneatha also had her own dream in mind. Beneatha devoted her time to Attending3 School in hopes of one day becoming a doctor. It was very important to her to become a doctor. Walter wanted an insight to what it would be like to be financially successful.
Toward the beginning of the play, we learn that Ruth is pregnant, which only complicates the family situation. The family is not affluent enough to provide for another life, so Ruth prepares to abort her child. But the Youngers have a chance at a new beginning. Ten thousand dollars is coming in the mail, and Lena must decide what to do with it. Bennie hopes for tuition money, Walter hopes for the down
She is willing to do anything to become pregnant even if she needs to have a party in order to meet the sperm donor. Her best friend disagrees with her going out of her way to find the right person who would give her the sperm to become a single mother. The researcher thinks that the character needs to be more open with her friend and tell him the truth by letting him know she is in love with him and would like him to be the father of her baby. The characters who started in this movie are Jason Bateman, Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Aniston, Juliette Lewis, Patrick Wilson and Thomas Robinson. This story is based on an advantage man who lives in New York City and meets a mid-age woman who became his best friend.
This evidence connects with my thesis by mama not being able to afford to spend money to help Beneatha with the money to go to school to help achieve her dreams of going to school. The last example of people not achieving their dream is in the 20/20 video in the scene where Ivan and his mother were looking for a house and Ivan said, “I wish I could have stay in one place.” This means Ivan and his mom and brother can only afford to stay in one place for a month and then they have to move or end up sleeping in the park. The second reason why people don’t achieve their dreams is based on what type of family dedication they get. In The House on Mango street, Esperanza’s mom said, “Esperanza you go to school.
Whole town think that Homer and Emily would get married soon. Homer changes Emily's life from secluding herself from society to being out in the world on her own.

Mrs. Woo has moved to America in 1949 from China after losing everything including her mother, her father, her first husband and her twin daughters (p. 542). After losing everything, coming to America would be a second chance for starting for Jing-Mei’s mother as she sees America as the Land of Opportunity. She was a housekeeper, going from house to house to make a living, and provide for her family. She wanted her daughter to try every opportunity she felt would eventually make her a star, such as being the next Shirley Temple by becoming an actor, intellectual testing, and when neither of those areas was working, she then decided that Jing will be a pianist.
She “comes from the old world, where mothers are lifelong housewives who expect to be near their children all their lives”(27). To Pham, this is a strange ideal to live by. In America, the common trend is to move out at 18, and then ship your family off to a retirement community. However, his mother feels this is a cruel way to treat your parents, and it's a strange way to live (27). She just wants to spend her life surrounded by the people she loves, but because she's living in the United States, she has to get used to the ideals that are less family eccentric.
The first scene in this story that had an emotional impact on me was when Jacobs (Linda) was talking about her grandmother and how she saved her earnings in hope of one day buying her children. She was well on her way to achieving this goal until her master died and the children were sold. As a mother myself, I could not imagine having my daughter taken from me and sold to the highest bidder. Not being able to see her every day and know how she was doing would definitely take an emotional toll on me. Another thing in her writing that was emotional for me was that Linda always wanted a better life for her children.
