Dreams can be seen in many ways. A dream could be something you had in the night that seems so real, or a dream could be your fantasy, where everything is going your way. The last type of dream is something that has more of a deep sense and plays an important role in your life. In life, people have many dreams. Dreams are important because they create goals for people, and they motivate people to accomplish them. Without a dream, a person will be unfocused in life and will most likely not be successful. In the play A Raisin in the Sun and the short story “Emerald City: Third and Pike,” the main characters both have dreams that they strive for. In A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, Walter Lee Younger has a dream. His dream is to be a successful businessman and for his family to be very happy.

There are also many differences between Oya and Walter. One difference is that Oya believes she can accomplish her goal but Walter believes his dream was crushes when he lost the sixty-five hundred dollars. Oya still tried to pursue her dreams even after her imprisonment, but Walter Lee knew that it wouldn’t succeed because he would never have sufficient money to make an impression. A second dissimilarity is that Walter never physically hurt anyone to achieve his dream, but Oya almost killed someone for hers. I think Oya almost killing the woman was a bit ironic because she talks about not being a dream crusher, but if she would’ve killed her employer, she would’ve killed her dream. For Walter Lee to let go of his idea of a liquor store, then becoming a huge businessman was very difficult. He always tried to pressure his family to accepting this idea, but they didn’t. Oya wouldn’t let go of her dream so much that she nearly murdered someone for it. In the end Walter and Oya had to go to the extremes for their dreams. I think trying to achieve your dreams is very important, but I don’t think it’s worth killing or hurting someone over. Your dreams and y
