A Raisin in the Sun

question

When Beneatha first appears, we are told that she is different from the rest of her family. What are some of the specific ways Hansberry shows us that she is different? (Consider: what she says, what she does, how other characters respond to her)

Beneatha Younger is Walter's 20-year-old sister, a college student who invades the Younger household with her modern ideas and philosophies on race, class, and religion. She is a handsome intellectual who has worked hard to refine her speech. She represents a new progressive black American female who, unlike her brother, wants to change how black Americans are seen and defined.
