Travis’ role is very important, but clearly nobody recognizes it. What was his grandmother’s plan for him when she decided to buy that house in Clyborn Park? Did she consider the racial hostility poor Travis would face when he enrolls an all white school? Keep in mind, this is the 1950s.

Everyone seems to have the same thoughts about Raisin In the Sun which are that-- +the story was essentially about a close knit, black family trying to move into a white neighborhood. +momma was all wise and 100% correct in everything she did. +Walter Lee was money hungry, materialistic and selfish. +aside from Walter losing most of the money, all of the family's problems were due to racism. +Ruth was saintly in enduring Walter Lee's compulsiveness. +Beneatha's character was flawless because she aspired to become a medical doctor. So, here are some questions about issues I don't think I've have ever heard discussed regarding Raisin in the Sun: 1 Why did family members talk so harshly with each other in the morning? Is this how they started each day? 2 Why didn't we see the Younger family eat meals together even when everyone was in the house? 3 Was Ruth's morning grumpiness due to her secret about her pregnancy? It had to be because she was not a single mom with several children but a married woman with one child who was not a toddler or infant. Yet, all she could manage to cook for breakfast was scrambled eggs. 4 Why was Walter the only person talking about the insurance money? They all knew about it for six months, but the other adults all seemed uncomfortable as if even talking about it was sinful. 5 Why was mama so domineering with her grown children as if she had been an overcompensating single mother? She had not been a single mother but a wife with a husband/father with whom she shared the economic and children rearing load. All of the family spoke of him in the highest reverence. So clearly, he fulfilled his role as husband/father. Both parents raised Walter and Beneatha to adulthood. So why is mama so heavy handed with her grown children? 6 Why did mama single-handedly buy the house even though the family comprised three other adults? 7 Why did mama with her Clyborne Park housing choice thrust the entire family into a racial dilemma without any prior family consent and preparation? 8 Did mama consider that this move might cause her grandson to be transferred to a racially hostile school in Clyborne Park? 9 Why did momma house hunt around the city on the bus with $10,000 cash in her purse? Why did she have $6,500 cash in her purse when she went to a bar at night looking for Walter? Why didn't she keep the money in a bank account? 10 Why didn't we ever see momma pray for wisdom and guidance regarding the money or the family's general well-being. Why did we only see her mention God when she slapped her daughter for questioning God's utility in daily human life. 11 Why would the insurance money all belong to mama? If it was a survivors' benefit that the father originated when Walter and Beneatha were still children, it seems that he intended it to be for them all and not just for mama. 12 When she learned that her sister-in-law, Ruth, was pregnant, why was aspiring medical doctor Beneatha's first reaction, "where is it going to sleep? Is this the appropriate sensitivity of an aspiring Ob/Gyn, pediatrician or family doctor? 13 What is Beneatha's income source that enables her to pay for exotic elective classes and expensive camera equipment collecting dust in a closet while her nephew sleeps on the living room couch and is overdue for new shoes? As an aspiring health care professional hoping to help meet needs in the larger community, why is she oblivious to needs in her own house? 14 If Walter was so ashamed of and humiliated by his job as a chauffeur why didn't he pursue something else? Chicago industry was bustling in the 1950s with better paying jobs for blacks in many areas, even though blacks faced intense job and trade union discrimination.

Thanks for helping me out with my schoolwork
So Travis doesn’t need to exist? He’s only there to symbolize hope and play off the cast? OOOOOOHHH.
Travis’ role is very important, but clearly nobody recognizes it. What was his grandmother’s plan for him when she decided to buy that house in Clyborn Park? Did she consider the racial hostility poor Travis would face when he enrolls an all white school? Keep in mind, this is the 1950s.
