Question: In the book A Raisin In The Sun, why might Mama be sad when she receives the insurance check!?!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

She would be sad because now she has to deal with the tension of who and what she should spend this check on!. Should she give it to her unsucessful mid life crisis having son Walter so he can have a chance at fufilling his dreams!? Or should she spend it on a new house so the family can have an appropriate place to live!? Or should she put the money away and never think twice about it!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

She's sad because of kids resorting to this rather than doing their homework/reading the book themselves!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
