"being a women who has adjusted to many things in life and over come many more." (39)
From Mama's Generation to Trevor's their has many apparent changes, Beween all of the characters. In Mama's time abortion would be unheard of, but to Ruth and her Generation, it is an act of Desperation. Walter's father would not have made such a risky investment. In that generation, they were more grateful for what they had. Obviously the biggest one is between Beneatha and Mama. Mama tries to encourage Beneatha to follow her dreams. However, Mama talks about slavery, and how she is still grateful not to be a slave. Beneatha want to tip the old status quo, by connecting with her heritage, instead of trying to assimilate to the American culture, white culture. Mama even buys a house in white neighborhood, showing her willing to give in to the American heritage.
