I like how you described more in depth and gave an image comparing the raisin in the sun to a dream. In the play, it shows how Walter and his family used to have a more joyouse existence filled with life. However, now as their dream begins to rot, so does the family lose its hope and luster for life. You had a great observation and insight into the poem.
