A Raisin in the Sun - #7

The action of this play only covers approximately 4 days with a difference of hours and weeks interspersed between them. None of this action is presented in the form of a report, but is all dramatized. It is explained that Walter gave away his money and that it was stolen, but aside from this, everything else is acted. (p.127) The action that is not included is seemingly unimportant, since it goes unexplained. That which is acted out are the most important events over the time period of about 2 weeks. There doesn't seem to be any meaning behind that which is dramatized or reported. I feel that the way that everything is acted out fits the play perfectly, because it allows audience to see the interactions in the family and emphasize its importance. In this way, what is shown is important to the play.
