My replica, The Swampman, moves exactly as I did; according to its nature it departs the swamp, encounters and seems to recognize my friends, and appears to return their greetings in English. It moves into my house and seems to write articles on radical interpretation. No one can tell the difference." (443)

class guidelines
answer
Attendance - students should only be out of school when absolutely necessary because although you need to complete make up work, it is a poor substitution for being absent. If students are going to miss school, they have to arrange plans with the teacher to go over what they missed. Attitude - students should be respectful and attentive. Profanity is unacceptable. Classwork and Homework - students should be prepared for daily homework in high school and should always be reviewing the new material to facilitate it into long-term memory. All submitted work must be legible and neat. ALL PAPERS MUST BE CORRECTLY FORMATTED. THIS INCLUDES THE COMPLETE, CORRECT JBHS HEADING. Detention and Teacher Appointments - students are expected to show up to any scheduled appointments with teachers and be ON TIME. Detentions are just a consequence of the student's actions and are merely a tool to use to get students onto the right track. Dress Code - students should consider their clothing choices carefully and make sure they follow the dress code covered early in the school year. Gum Chewing and Food Consumption - unless students have individual health problems regarding food consumption, it is not permitted in the classroom. Materials - Students must have necessary materials for school each day (blue/black pens, pencils, erasers, and a highlighter, a three-ring binder, and a lined notebook.) Seating - students should be in their seat when the bell rings and should not get up unless the teacher tells them to. Tardies - students are expected to be in their seats when the bell rings and working on the warm up. Students must use the passing period to go directly to class. Odds and Ends - students must never forge a parent's signature and it is the student's responsibility to get any material the parents need to them. Cheating is also a serious infraction at JBHS.

question
8. What was Beneatha's attitude towards God?
answer
She said she did not accept the idea of God -- "there is only man and it is he who makes miracles."
question
9. What happened to Ruth at the end of Act I Scene One?
answer
She fainted.
question
1. Who is Joseph Asagai?
answer
He is a school friend of Beneatha and an African intellectual.
question
2. What did Ruth find out at the doctor's office?
answer
She was pregnant.
question
3. Why is Asagai's present to Beneatha appropriate?
answer
He gave her clothing from Nigeria. She literally gets wrapped up in her current fad. It also foreshadows her putting on a new life.
question
4. Why is Asagai's nickname appropriate?
answer
It means "One for Whom Bread - Food - Is Not Enough." It is appropriate because he as well as Beneatha and Walter want more from life than just survival. They want a better quality of life.

answer
He had become overly concerned with money and had lost his traditional family values, so much so that he didn't try to convince Ruth not to have an abortion.
question
1. Why didn't Beneatha want to be a doctor anymore?
answer
She used to think that fixing people's ailments was the best thing to do. Now she thinks that physical ailments aren't the problem of society. People's hearts aren't true. She gives up on the human race and calls them "puny, small, and selfish." She sees no human battle worth fighting.
question
2. How did Asagai define "idealists" and "realists"?
answer
"[Life] is simply a long line -- as in geometry, you know, one that reaches into infinity. And because we cannot see the end -- we also cannot see how it changes. And it is very odd but those who see the changes are called "idealists" -- and those who cannot, or refuse to think, they are the "realists."
question
3. What does Asagai ask Beneatha to do?
answer
He asks her to marry him and return to Africa with him to live.
question
4. What fault does Mama find with herself?
answer
She says she aimed too high -- had too-high dreams.
question
5. What solution does Walter have?
answer
He thinks accepting the money from Lindner will solve their problem.

answer
Walter is a good, decent man underneath. His conscience and moral upbringing wouldn't let him ruin his family's pride.

answer
They did move.
question
1. Who was Karl Lindner, and why did he visit the Youngers' house?
