A dream is a wish that someone hopes to achieve in their lifetime or in the near future. The American Dream is interpreted in multiple ways, and while this is true, the structure of the American Dream is the same. When we talk about the American dream, most people think of families who thrive together and succeed in whatever they want to do. The American dream is based on freedom, justice, success and in socio-economic terms. In A Raisin in the Sun, the Younger family has different dreams and they all feel that their dream is more important than their family's dreams. Most of the Younger family struggle to achieve their dream, but only a few will succeed. The value and purpose of Younger's individual dreams and family values ​​are crucial to them because of the effect they have on them, but their ultimate American dream is family happiness. Big Walter had many values ​​for his race and worked very hard for those values ​​to ensure the happiness of his family. The American dream was only a grim reality due to the harsh working conditions of blacks in Chicago in the 1920s (M'baye 175). This is how Mom sees Big Walter, a courageous man who fought all his life to ensure a happy future for his family. As M'baye says, "Big Walter's life was a constant struggle against personal grief and a hostile economic and social world that discriminated against him" (175). Big Walter has the most dignity for his family and his real dream is happiness for his family. Mom always mentions Big Walter in the story whenever Walter or Beneatha does something she thinks is wrong. Mom said Big Walter hated housework and farming and... middle of paper... sick people - so go become a nurse like the other women - or just get married and shut up. ” (Hansberry 38).The value of each dream is crucial to each member of the Younger family because of the effect it has on them, but it is the family dream of owning a home that unites them. At the end of the story, Mom convinced Walter that buying the house was important to the family because the thought of living in the apartment for the rest of his life was unbearable. Big Walter had to struggle and had difficulty realizing his dream of buying a house, which eventually became the family's dream. Walter's dream interfered with Beneatha's dream and the family's dream. This had a major impact on everyone's lives, especially after Walter lost the money. In the end, the Younger family was happy with Walter's decision. It's the young family's American dream.
