In A Raisin in the Sun, what is Mama's dream?

Younger, the matriarch of the Younger family,
dreams of raising her family away from the
dangerous south side of Chicago
and in a safer place with more opportunities, like Clybourne
Park. She also
dreams of having a small garden.

Lena Younger"Mama"

toandJrknows that the place where her family lives isn't good for them. There is
little
opportunity to help them find upward mobility. There isn't enough
space for everyone; Beneatha
sleeps with her mother, Walter sleeps with , and
, their son, sleeps on a makeshift bed in the
living room. Their home is
rental that's run down with barely any natural light. Everything is
faded and
shabby even though it's clear that Lena chose each item and placed it with care
long
ago.

The money from Lena's husband's life insurance
is enough to make a down
payment on a two-story home. Lena believes that if
everyone pitches in, they'll be able to pay
their mortgage and afford it. She
tells Ruth that it would be nice to have a yard for Travis to
play in. She
tells her about her once-upon-a-time dream of purchasing a house, fixing it up,
and
having a small garden in the back.

According to Lena,
the closest she ever
got to having a garden is the potted plant she cares
for. When she puts a down payment on the
house at Clybourne Park, she tells
them that there's enough room for a small
garden.
