A Raisin in the Sun is an example of social realism: plays that take a realistic look at social problems.

Walter Lee Younger is Mama's (Lena Younger's) son and Travis Younger's father. He is a chauffeur for a rich white family, but has higher dreams. He desperately wants to have enough money to open a succesful business, and dreams of being a rich executive with an office bulding and a car of his own. He is emotionally unstable and puts his trust in the wrong people. He feels that his inability to fulfill his dreams and improve his life make him less than a man, and tries desperately to show his partriarchal abilities, especially in one scene in the play where he pretends to be an African chieftan. He probably suffers from depression and is, at heart, a child, despite all his struggle to improve and change his life on his own.

Mama gave the rest of the $10,000 from the insurance money, after making the down payment on a house in a white neighborhood, to Walter Lee. That was $6,500.
similar: stubborn and driven to their specific goal
Different: walter wants to spend the money on himself when beneatha wants to spend it on becoming a doctor to help people
Because there is a poem called both "Harlem" or "A Dream Deferred" which compares a dream to a raisin in the son. The poem is by Langston Hughes, I think
