A RAISIN IN THE SUN
A Raisin in the Sun is set somewhere between the present and
World War II. It is in 1959 at Chicago’s Southside. It is
morning, Travis and Ruth are sleeping on a make-down bed. As
the alarm clock rings, Ruth storms out of her room, passes her
sleeping son, Travis, and jiggles him a little. After she raises a
dusty shade, the morning light flows in. Here is when she calls
her son amidst yawns. Aged 30, her life seems to fall short of
her expectations. On informing her young son that it is 7:30, he

2. heads for the bathroom that is located out in the hall. The
bathroom is shared by other families dwelling on the same
floor.
Walter, Travis’ father wakes up some moments later after his
wife, Ruth has called him for the fourth time. He has to wait for
Travis to come back from the bathroom so that he can as well
use it considering that Mr. Johnson takes the place. Walter
lights up a cigarette, throws a compliment to his wife, then
Travis comes back from the bathroom moments later. This is a
brief description of the Younger family. The house is shared by
four adults and one young child, Travis, Ruth’s son.
Through Walter, the theme of racism is well cultivated. We
witness some degree of antagonism between him and his wife
Ruth. This antagonism is heightened further when their
conversation becomes more apparent about the impacts of
racisms and how they have divided sexes. Walter increasingly
lays a lot of blame on Ruth for crushing his dream even though
we can comprehend Ruth’s caution. She does this owing to the
prevailing pragmatism as well as the inadequate resources
available in African American society which emerges to be a
racist society. Ruth has a limited but yet an unwittingly
contribution towards racism and its effects.
Ruth is not happy with Walter’s inquisitiveness towards
Beneatha. She grows sad when he keeps on asking her the
monotonous school and the cost of the career path she wants to
follow, a doctor. Ruth instructs Walter to leave Beneatha alone.
However, Walter is not silenced by this. He goes ahead to mock
Beneatha’s concern for mama and ironically tells her to stop
being that ambitious because she might end up being just like
the other nurses or worse still, get married and shut her mouth.
According to Walter, a woman like Beneatha doesn’t have to be
a doctor.
Beneatha on the other hand extends the theme of racism. She
asks Walter if he wants her to drop school. He answers that they
have had so many sacrifices so it could be better if she did
something for the family. Walter even pints out that it is due to

3. Beneatha that Mama is not able to invest in liquor store. He
himself to them as to be the most backward race of people in the
world yet he belongs to the same race.
Beneatha has an ambition just like Walter. However, she
maintains that her dream won’t be shattered. It is through
Beneatha’s heated argument with Walter and Ruth that we get to
know of the racism that prevails among other people out there.
When mama seeks to know who she is going out with that night,
she answers that she is going out with George Murchison who
again she assumes to be shallow. Even though Ruth says that he
is rich, Beneatha objects because she thinks Ruth doesn’t
understand, more especially since she married her brother. She
refers to Murchison to be the only individuals in the world who
are more arrogant than all the wealthy colored people.

ANNA IN THE TROPICS
Santiago, Cheche and Ofelia are among the characters in the
play “Anna in the Tropics”, who represent various forces that
are present in the world. The play took place in an old
warehouse in a town called Ybor City, in 1929. Santiago is the
owner of a cigar factory who is addicted to gambling and a
defender of the Cuban traditions in the factory. He is less
receptive to change and new ways of production. He has a wife
named Ofelia and two children named Conchita and Marela. He
has a brother who is named Cheche. Cheche is Santiago’s half
brother who in contrast to Santiago, is interested in modernizing
the cigar factory and preferably mechanizing it rather than in
the stories of the new Lector hired by Ofelia. He is bitter with

4. Lector owing to the fact that his previous wife left him for a
Lector. Ofelia is Santiago’s wife who is loving and passionate.
She keeps her family together and prevents it from falling apart.
In the first act, Cheche represents change, a force that is
inevitable for a persons or businesses success. He represents it
since he never advocated for the Lector, who told stories at the
factory as the employees continued to labor. The love stories he
told were at the expense of the cheap laborers at the cigar
factory. In the world, the forces of change are present and are
necessary, both for personal as well as organizational
development. Cheche however contradicted the force he
presented in the second act in which he was the only one who
did not change as a result of the Lectors love stories. The
contradiction represented the various types of change;
technological and the behavioral changes.
He also represents the force of hate, which is exhibited by his
resentment for the Lector. He hated the Lector due to the
previous encounter he had with the previous Lector who ran
with his wife. The force of hate causes bad actions as it was
witnessed in the second act of the play. He killed Lector in
revenge of the act that the previous one had done to him. The
hate that had been built from the act of the previous Lector was
transferred and caused him to hate the new Lector and even to
kill him in the end. In the world, the force of hate has caused
untold harm and revenge leading to death and untold suffering.
Santagio represented the forces of addiction and recklessness,
which are present in the real world. In the first act of the play,
he was exhibited as a reckless gambler who could not resist the
habit during the cockfights, which were hosted by Eliades. He
carelessly placed bets in the cockfights, without any caution as
his brother Cheche did. After the first loss from the bet which
he had placed a higher amount than his brother, he even placed
a larger bet which he also lost. He continued and even borrowed
his brother and placed a section of the factory at risk due to his
habit. Such risky forces of addiction have interfered with many
families across the world. Some have even gambled with the

5. most valuable family treasures and have lost them in useless
gambles. That has resulted into broken and suffering families
across the world.
Santiago also represented the forces of family unity and love.
He loved his family and was ready to do anything so as to fend
for them. His family, especially his wife Ofelia defended him
through ideas. His daughter Marela was the link and a family tie
when the two of them were not in good terms. Like any other
families, his family experienced good and bad times. In the first
act, the family had a bad time and he and his wife were not in
good times. The family, in the second act, experienced good
times after the love story was told by Lector and influenced
them accordingly. In the world, the forces of family unity and
love are present. Love for their family gives men a reason to
work and keep up with challenging situations so as to protect
their family members from the harm that would befall the
family in case they relent to the pressures of life.

Dutchman
In the play Dutchman, the author has stipulated a couple of
trigger points that make the reader of the play create certain
mental images. Amiri Baraka brings out some trigger points at
the beginning of the play. Firstly, the author has chosen a young
Negro and a white lady as the main characters. This is a major
trigger point. It brings out the diversity of race due to the racial
differences between Clay and Lula. The characters have a
significant difference in age too, Clay being twenty and Lula
being thirty. The difference in race as well as age between the
two characters evokes a lot of thought for the reader or a person
watching the play. This is so since interaction between the two
in the play is in a flirtatious way. The lady Lula in a joking tone

6. asks Clay whether he thinks she wanted to pick him up for them
to have sex later. This raises the thought of such women who
search for young men to satisfy their romantic needs. The
author also shows that the idea of women stalking young men
have gotten into the latter’s heads. This is so since it is evident
that Clay seems to be of the idea that Lula intends to exploit
him for her romantic gain.
The author shows women with mid-life crisis in this play. From
the conversation between Clay and Lula, the latter is portrayed
as a very perverted aging woman. It is normal that at some age
women quits some behaviors such as flirting with young boys,
the urge of attending parties and so on. On the contrary, Lula
has not given up this habit. She actually comes to Clay from the
time she spots him inside the train, sits next to him and strikes a
conversation. Though both seem to be of the idea of being with
each other, it is Lula who provokes Clay into such thought.
Socially or conventionally, such act from Lula is not
appropriate. Women of such age as Lula should play a different
role in the society such as guiding young adults such as Clay.
When she asks Clay whether he would be willing to take her to
Warren’s party, it comes to light that she does not care about
people’s judgment when they see her and Clay together. The
manner and confidence in which she approaches and drives her
conversation with Clay shows that maybe she is used to
randomly picking young men in places she goes.
The author goes ahead in the play to portray the great disparity
between black and white people. At a point Clay mentions that
his uncle is a watchman. This shows the low place in society
that black people were placed by society at the time of the play.
On the other hand, Lula is a successful poet who is obviously
rich and seeks the company of the young man Clay. There is
also a difference in political backgrounds. Lula begins by
saying that she comes from a democrat family. Clay replies by
saying that his mother is a republican. From this, the author
portrays the vast difference between black and white people. It
comes to the mind f the reader of the play to contemplate the

7. vast difference race brings to people. If one would switch the
characters, the whole act would play out right. It would look
socially okay for a thirty-year-old man flirting with a twenty-
year-old girl. This so since men are known to prefer women
much younger than them.
In recent plays based on the same subject matter of racial
differences, the Dutchman play is of comparison and contrast.
In a recent movie named Django, black people were actually
being sold as slaves to work in white people farms. In this
particular movie a black person gains the trust of his master and
he elevates him to his assistant teaching him how to live like a
white man. The play and the movie can be comparable in the
basis of the vast racial differences between black and white
people shown. Both the play and the movie tell that black and
white people had differences in economic, social as well as
political sense.

Los Vendidos
The play Los Vendidos by Luis Valdez has a couple of trigger
points which he intends the readers of the play to create some
impression in their minds. The author has used the two main
characters in the play, the secretary as well as Sancho to bring
out the idea of a hardworking person in their quest for a model.
Sancho introduces a couple of models to the secretary for her to
analyze. In a satirical way, the secretary describes the models
either fit or otherwise. One model is introduced as very
hardworking, being able to perform a variety of tasks. To show
this, the author, through the character Sancho, says that these
fictitious models have the ability to pick coffee in the field as
well as other farm related work. The other model introduced is a

8. city model. This triggers the reader to see disparity between city
people and village people .The tasks that the two can be able to
accomplish are totally different. The village people are seen to
be humble and well-mannered contrary to city people who are
seen to be vulgar as in the case where Jonny, the city model
says F*** you to the secretary. Despite being better acquainted
with better skills than village people, it is evident that they have
bad public relations.
Secondly, the author brings out the issue of crime and security.
Sancho mentions how the LAPD has purchased models similar
to Johnny to rain cops. This is, however, described in a satirical
way where Sancho terms the LAPD cops as rookie cops to show
how inferior he thinks the LAPD force is .The idea of city
residents bee acquainted to the idea of theft to survive is also
brought in the picture. Johnny, the city model, demonstrates this
when he steals the secretary’s purse. At a point in the play, he
smokes an imaginary joint of marijuana. This shows the height
of how immoral he is. When the secretary says that there
cannot be more thieves in the state administration is a direct
insinuation that unlawful law enforcement officers corrupt the
current state administration. The secretary, unlike Sancho is not
of the idea of being liberal minded when it comes to the issue of
law enforcement and the uncouth behavior of state
administration personnel as suggested in the play.
Lastly, another major trigger point is the issue of politics
running throughout the play. As the secretary dismisses the
model Johnny, she mentions to Sancho that what she really is
looking for is a male model with the persona as well as
attributes to attract female voters. This shows that it is a time
for campaign maybe awaiting a major election. It is correct to
think that the women are the majority population in the country
described by the author .It is what makes the secretary seek a
model who will help win majority of the votes from women in
the country. Sancho describes the achievements of Governor
Reagan, who the secretary works for in a very cynical manner
saying No problem. You know these new farm labor camps our

9. Honorable Governor Reagan has built out by Parlier or Raisin
City? A person reading this play is triggered to see that the
politicians are not acting as per the voter’s expectations. From
Sancho’s sarcasm in describing what Reagan the governor has
accomplished in his era in power.
The play by Luis satirizes the stereotype behaviors in Mexico.
One instance where this is shown is where Johnny grabs the
secretary’s purse and makes away with it. This is in line with
the common burglary behavior in the country Mexico where
unruly youth are known to steal from people on the streets.
Another instance where the author satirizes the Latino culture is
where he describes that the secretary was looking for a model to
attract female voters. According to Sancho, such a model would
be riding a horse, be strong and good looking and won a farm.
This is the case of most Mexican T.V shows. Male models
considered to be attractive to female counter parts fit the
description that Sancho gives. This kind of stereotyping seems
to be outdated. Over time, cultures have changed allowing
disappearance of such old stereotype behaviors and the
incorporation of new stereotypes.
When it comes to the issue of politics, politicians all over the
world are known of using cultural appropriations for political
gain. This narrows down to tribal appropriation where
politicians could develop tight relations with the leaders whose
ethnicity is from the majority of the population. By doing this,
the politicians hope to convince he majority people, through
their representatives, to vote for them in elections thereby
enabling them to win by majority votes.
