"Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" When you leave a raison out in the sun it dries up and loses all life. All the juices and flavors evaporate and what's left is a dead dried up skin. This line is very important line. It inspired the book //a raison in the sun//. I believe this is an important line because it can describe so many things happening at that time period. During this time period in the south mainly there was lots of discrimination towards blacks. And there was a common dream between many people to have equality. But there had been such a long history of white superiority that it was very hard to fight the fight of racism. They must fight for the dream of equality and not let it go and dry up like a raison in the sun. Good - what would be the image of a dried up dream? Hughes asks us whether that dream would still exist. Would it? The shell of it would exist, but is that enough?
