Read the following excerpt from the ending of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun:
WALTER (A beat. The tension hangs; then WALTER steps back from it) Yeah. Well — what I mean is that we come from people who had a lot of pride. I mean — we are very proud people. And that's my sister over there and she's going to be a doctor — and we are very proud —

LINDNER Well — I am sure that is very nice, but —

WALTER What I am telling you is that we called you over here to tell you that we are very proud and that this — (Signaling to TRAVIS) Travis, come here. (TRAVIS crosses and WALTER draws him before him facing the man) This is my son, and he makes the sixth generation our family in this country. And we have all thought about your offer —

LINDNER Well, good . . . good —

WALTER And we have decided to move into our house because my father — my father — he earned it for us brick by brick. (MAMA has her eyes closed and is rocking back and forth as though she were in church, with her head nodding the Amen yes) We don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no causes, and we will try to be good neighbors. And that's all we got to say about that. (He looks the man absolutely in the eyes) We don't want your money. (He turns and walks away)

LINDNER (Looking around at all of them) I take it then — that you have decided to occupy . . .

BENEATHA That's what the man said.

Answer: The theme of pride is a clear manifest in the ending part of Lorraine's excerpt.

We canidentify that the play is depicting characters who have little to identifywith.

We see that neighborhood representative shows up and offers to buy outtheirhouse.

The play depicts this decision as pride overmoney, and although money doeswin out for a little bit, the Walter family maintains itspride in the end.

We see how Walter blatant about this pride that he claims that the housewasearned through their late father's sweat.

The author intends to bring out the blatant idea of pride in the Younger familythrough thecharacter of Walter in the excerpt.

He portrays Walter as aggressively boastful to fit thisfamily trait.

Is this good

Answer:Among the two characters, Walter and Linder, the conversation conveys Pride and Discrimination.

The line "And that's my sister over there and she's going to be a doctor - and we are very proud" tells that the entire family of Walters are a very proud family. That is overlooking the fact that Walter Lee states that, “...we come from people who had a lot of pride. I mean — we are very proud people”. Also, Walter has quite a bit of self-importance, you can see from the way he interrupts Lindner on multiple occasions as he tries to convince the man that they will not be taking his offer.

The general plot of A Raisin in the Sun centers around the Younger family selfishly trying to live out their own individual dreams- with Mama wanting to purchase a nice house for her family. Lindner clearly does not wish for the family to move into the house, and he is trying to convince them to sell it back. At one point he tries to “appeal” to Mama, implying that she is “older and wiser” and should understand why they cannot move into their new home which is canonically located in a predominantly White area. He is not happy about their decision, leaving them with an ominous, “I sure hope you people know what you're getting into”.
